| (1)   | A      “productive well” generally means a well that is not a dry      hole. |
|-----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (2)   | A      “dry hole” generally means a well found to be incapable of producing      either oil or gas in sufficient quantities to justify completion as an oil      or gas well.  The term “completion” refers either to the      installation of permanent equipment for the production of oil or gas or,      in the case of a dry hole, to the reporting of the abandonment of the well      to the appropriate regulatoryagency. |
|-----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (3)   | A      “gross” well is a well in which we have a working  interest. |
|-----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (4)   | A      “net” well equals the actual working interest we own in one gross well      divided by one hundred. For example, a 50% working interest in a well is      one gross well, but a .50 netwell. |

| (1)   | “Proved      reserves” generally means the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural      gas, and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data      demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years      from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions,      i.e., prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Prices include      consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual      arrangements, but not on escalations based upon future      conditions.  Reservoirs are considered proved if economic      production is supported by either actual production or conclusive      formation test.  The area of a reservoir considered proved      includes:  that portion delineated by drilling and defined by      gas-oil and/or oil-water contacts, if any; and the immediately adjoining      portions not yet drilled, but which can be reasonably judged as      economically productive on the basis of available geological and      engineering data. |

| (2)   | “Proved      developed reserves” generally means reserves that can be expected to be      recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating      methods. |
|-----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (3)   | The      present value of estimated future net cash flows is calculated by      discounting estimated future net cash flows by 10%    annually. |
|-----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (4)   | Please      see Regulation S-X rule 4-10 for complete definitions of each reserve      category. |
|-----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (5)   | This      value per $10,000 unit is determined by following the methodology used for      determining our proved reserves using the data discussed      above.  However, this value does not necessarily reflect the      fair market value of a unit, and each unit is illiquid.  Also,      the value of a unit for purposes of presentment of the unit to our MGP for      purchase is different, because it is calculated under a formula set forth      in the partnership agreement. |

| (1)   | A      “gross” acre is an acre in which we own a working  interest. |

| (2)   | A      “net” acre equals the actual working interest we own in one gross acre      divided by one hundred.  For example, a 50% working interest in      an acre is one gross acre, but a .50 netacre. |

audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our 
audit included consideration of internal control over financialreporting as a basis for designing 
audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internalcontrol over financial reporting. Accordingly, we expressno such 
opinion. An
