ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

     General

     The Dyco  Oil and  Gas Program  1984-2  Limited Partnership  (the
"Program")  is   a  Minnesota  limited  partnership   engaged  in  the
production  of oil  and  gas.   The  Program commenced  operations  on
November 5, 1984 with the primary financial objective of investing its
limited partners'  subscriptions  in  the  drilling  of  oil  and  gas
prospects and then  distributing to its limited partners all available
cash flow  from the  Program's on-going  production operations.   Dyco
Petroleum  Corporation ("Dyco") serves  as the General  Partner of the
Program.  See "Item 2. Properties" for  a description of the Program's
reserves and properties.

     The limited  partnership agreement for the  Program provides that
limited partners are allocated  99% of all Program costs  and revenues
and that  Dyco, as  General Partner,  is allocated  1% of  all Program
costs  and  revenues.    Included  in  such  costs  is  the  Program's
reimbursement to Dyco  of the Program's proportionate  share of Dyco's
geological, engineering, and general and administrative expenses.

     Dyco  serves  as  General  Partner of  34  limited  partnerships,
including  the Program.  Dyco  is a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Samson
Natural  Gas  Company, which  is a  wholly-owned subsidiary  of Samson
Investment  Company.    Samson  Investment  Company  and  its  various
corporate subsidiaries,  including  Dyco, (collectively,  the  "Samson
Companies")  are  engaged in  the  production and  development  of and
exploration for oil and gas reserves and the acquisition and operation
of producing properties.  At  December 31, 1995, the Samson  Companies
owned interests in approximately  18,000 oil and gas wells  located in
19 states  of the  U.S. and  3 provinces of  Canada.   At December 31,
1995, the  Samson Companies operated  approximately 3,100 oil  and gas
wells  located in  15  states  of the  U.S.,  2  provinces of  Canada,
Venezuela, and Russia.

     As a limited partnership, the Program has no officers, directors,
or employees.   It  relies instead  on the personnel  of Dyco  and the
other  Samson Companies.  As of February 1, 1996, the Samson Companies
employed  approximately  830 persons.    No employees  are  covered by
collective  bargaining agreements,  and management  believes that  the
Samson Companies provide a sound  employee relations environment.  For
information  regarding  the  executive  officers of  Dyco,  see  "Item
10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant."

                                   1

     Dyco's and the Program's  principal place of business  is located
at  Samson Plaza, Two West  Second Street, Tulsa,  Oklahoma 74103, and
their telephone number is (918) 583-1791 or (800) 535-1791.


     Funding

     Although the Program's partnership agreement permits the  Program
to  incur  borrowings,  the  Program's  operations  and  expenses  are
currently funded out of the Program's revenues from oil and gas sales.
Dyco may, but is not required to, advance funds to the Program for the
same purposes for which Program borrowings are authorized.


     Principal Products Produced and Services Rendered

     The Program's  sole business is the development and production of
oil and natural gas with a concentration on natural gas.   The Program
does not hold any patents, trademarks, licenses, or concessions and is
not a party  to any government contracts.  The  Program has no backlog
of orders  and  does  not  participate  in  research  and  development
activities.  The  Program is not  presently encountering shortages  of
oilfield  tubular goods,  compressors, production  material, or  other
equipment.


     Oil, Gas, and Environmental Control Regulations

     Regulation of Production Operations -- The production of  oil and
gas is subject  to extensive  federal and state  laws and  regulations
governing a  wide  variety  of matters,  including  the  drilling  and
spacing of wells,  allowable rates of production,  prevention of waste
and pollution, and protection of the environment.   In addition to the
direct costs borne in complying with such regulations, operations  and
revenues  may be impacted to the extent that certain regulations limit
oil and gas production to below economic levels.

     Regulation  of Sales and Transportation of Oil and Natural Gas --
Sales of  crude oil and condensate  are made by the  Program at market
prices and are not subject to price controls.  The sale of natural gas
may  be  subject  to both  federal  and  state  laws and  regulations,
including,  but  not limited  to, the  Natural  Gas Act  of  1938 (the
"NGA"),  the  Natural  Gas  Policy  Act  of  1978  (the  "NGPA"),  and
regulations promulgated  by the  Federal Energy  Regulatory Commission
(the  "FERC")  under the  NGA,  the NGPA,  and  other  statutes.   The
provisions of  the  NGA  and the  NGPA,  as well  as  the  regulations
thereunder, are complex and affect all who produce, resell, transport,
or  purchase natural gas,  including the Program.   Although virtually
all of the Program's gas production is not subject to price

                                   2
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
regulation,   the  NGA,   NGPA,  and   FERC  regulations   affect  the
availability of  gas transportation services  and the  ability of  gas
consumers  to continue  to  purchase or  use  gas at  current  levels.
Accordingly, such  regulations  may  have a  material  effect  on  the
Program's operations and projections of  future oil and gas production
and revenues.

     Future  Legislation  -- Legislation  affecting  the  oil and  gas
industry is under constant review for amendment or expansion.  Because
such  laws and  regulations are  frequently amended  or reinterpreted,
management is unable to predict what additional energy legislation may
be proposed or enacted or the future cost and impact of complying with
existing or future regulations.

     Regulation  of the  Environment --  The Program's  operations are
subject to numerous  laws and regulations  governing the discharge  of
materials into the environment  or otherwise relating to environmental
protection.  Compliance with such  laws and regulations, together with
any penalties resulting from noncompliance therewith, may increase the
cost of the Program's  operations or may affect the  Program's ability
to complete,  in  a timely  fashion,  existing or  future  activities.
Management  anticipates   that  various  local,   state,  and  federal
environmental control agencies  will have an increasing  impact on oil
and gas operations. 


     Significant Customers

     Purchases of gas by Premier Gas Company ("Premier") accounted for
approximately 93.0% of the  Program's oil and gas revenues  during the
year ended December 31, 1995.   Premier was an affiliate of Dyco until
December  6, 1995.   See  "Item 11. Executive  Compensation."   In the
event of interruption of purchases by this significant customer or the
cessation  or   material   change  in   availability  of   open-access
transportation by the Program's pipeline transporters, the Program may
encounter difficulty in marketing its  gas and in maintaining historic
sales  levels.   Alternative  purchasers  or transporters  may  not be
readily available.

     The Program's  principal customers  for crude oil  production are
refiners and other  companies which have pipeline  facilities near the
producing properties of the Program.  In the event pipeline facilities
are  not  conveniently available  to  production areas,  crude  oil is
usually trucked by purchasers to storage facilities.

     Competition and Marketing

     The  oil and  gas industry  is highly  competitive, with  a large
number of  companies and  individuals engaged  in the exploration  and
development of oil and gas properties.   The ability of the Program to
produce  and market  oil  and gas  profitably depends  on a  number of
factors  that are beyond  the control of  the Program.   These factors
include worldwide  political instability (especially  in oil-producing
regions), the  supply and price of foreign imports of oil and gas, the
level  of  consumer product  demand  (which is  heavily  influenced by
weather  patterns), government  regulations and  taxes, the  price and
availability of alternative fuels,  the overall economic  environment,
and  the availability  and capacity  of transportation  and processing
facilities.    The  effect  of  these  factors  cannot  be  accurately
predicted or anticipated.

     As a  general rule,  in recent  years,  worldwide oil  production
capacity  and gas production capacity  in certain areas  of the United
States exceeded  demand and resulted in a decline in the average price
of oil and gas in  the United States.   During the later part of  1994
and  1995, however, average oil prices in the United States increased.
Oil prices increased  from approximately $16.50  per barrel at  Decem-
ber 31, 1994 to approximately $18.50  per barrel at December 31, 1995.
Management  is  unable  to  predict  whether  future oil  prices  will
(i) stabilize, (ii) increase, or (iii) decrease.

     Gas  sales contract prices  have generally declined significantly
since the mid-1980s due to a number of factors, including a nationwide
surplus  of gas and increased competition.   Competition has increased
among United  States gas marketers due to the gas surplus, the partial
deregulation  of gas prices, the conversion by major pipelines to open
access transportation, and  the lack of strong  residential demand for
natural  gas during  the winter  months for  the last  few years  as a
result of  warm winters in much  of the United States.   However, spot
gas  prices in the areas where the Program's gas is marketed increased
during the later part of 1995 compared to prices received in the later
part of 1994 and the first several months of 1995.  

     Substantially all of the Program's natural gas reserves are being
sold in  the "spot market."   Due to the highly  competitive nature of
the  spot market,  prices  on  the spot  market  are subject  to  wide
seasonal  and regional pricing  fluctuations.  In  addition, such spot
market sales are generally short-term in nature and are dependent upon
the obtaining of transportation services provided by pipelines.  

                                   4
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     The Program's spot gas  prices increased from approximately $1.67
per  Mcf  at  December 31, 1994  to  approximately  $2.00  per Mcf  at
December 31, 1995.  Such prices were on an MMBTU basis and differ from
the  prices actually received by the Program due to transportation and
marketing  costs,  BTU adjustments,  and  regional  price and  quality
differences.  Future prices will likely be different from  (and may be
lower  than) the prices in effect on  December 31, 1995.  In many past
years,  year-end prices  have tended to  be higher, and  in some cases
significantly higher, than the  yearly average price actually received
by the Program for at least  the year following the year-end valuation
date.  Management is unable to predict whether  future gas prices will
(i) stabilize, (ii) increase, or (iii) decrease.    


     Insurance Coverage 

     The  Program is  subject  to all  of  the risks  inherent in  the
exploration for  and production  of oil  and gas,  including blowouts,
pollution,  fires,  and  other  casualties.    The  Program  maintains
insurance  coverage as  is customary  for entities  of a  similar size
engaged in operations  similar to that of the Program,  but losses can
occur  from  uninsurable risks  or in  amounts  in excess  of existing
insurance coverage.   The occurrence of  an event which  is not  fully
covered  by  insurance could  have a  material  adverse effect  on the
Program's financial position and results of operations.

(1)  The designation of a well as an  oil well or gas well is made  by
     Dyco based on the relative amount of oil and gas reserves for the
     well.   Regardless  of a  well's oil  or gas designation,  it may
     produce oil, gas, or both oil and gas.
(2)  As used throughout this  Annual Report, "Gross Well" refers  to a
     well in which a working  interest is owned.  The number  of gross
     wells is the total number of wells in which a working interest is
     owned.
(3)  As used throughout this  Annual Report, "Net Well" refers  to the
     sum  of  the fractional  working interests  owned in  gross wells
     expressed as whole numbers and fractions thereof.  For example, a
     15% leasehold interest in  a well represents one Gross  Well, but
     0.15 Net Well.


     Drilling Activities

     The Program participated  in no drilling activities  for the year
ended December 31, 1995.

(1)  As used throughout  this Annual Report, "Bbls"  refers to barrels
     of  42 U.S. gallons and  represents the basic  unit for measuring
     the production of crude oil and condensate oil.
(2)  As  used throughout this Annual Report, "Mcf" refers to volume of
     1,000  cubic feet  under  prescribed conditions  of pressure  and
     temperature  and  represents the  basic  unit  for measuring  the
     production of natural gas.
(3)  Oil production is converted to gas equivalents at the rate of six
     Mcf  per  barrel,  representing  the  estimated  relative  energy
     content  of gas and oil, which rate is not necessarily indicative
     of the relationship of oil and gas prices.  The respective prices
     of  oil and  gas are  affected  by market  and  other factors  in
     addition to relative energy content.


     Proved Reserves and Net Present Value

     The following table sets forth the Program's estimated proved oil
and  gas reserves and net  present value therefrom  as of December 31,
1995.  The schedule of  quantities of proved oil and gas  reserves was
prepared  by Dyco  in  accordance with  the  rules prescribed  by  the
Securities and  Exchange Commission (the  "SEC").  As  used throughout
this  Annual  Report,  "proved  reserves" refers  to  those  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 oil  and gas reservoirs
under existing economic and operating conditions.

     Net  present value  represents estimated  future gross  cash flow
from the production and sale of  proved reserves, net of estimated oil
and  gas  production costs  (including  production  taxes, ad  valorem
taxes, and operating expenses), and estimated future development costs
discounted  at 10% per annum.   Net present  value attributable to the
Program's proved reserves was calculated on the basis of current costs
and  prices  at December 31,  1995.   Such  prices were  not escalated
except  in  certain circumstances  where  escalations  were fixed  and
readily   determinable   in   accordance  with   applicable   contract
provisions.  The prices used by Dyco in calculating the net present

                                   7
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
value attributable to the Program's proved reserves do not necessarily
reflect  market  prices  for  oil  and  gas  production subsequent  to
December 31,  1995.  Furthermore, gas prices at December 31, 1995 were
higher than the price  used for determining the Program's  net present
value of proved reserves for the year  ended December 31, 1994.  There
can  be no  assurance  that the  prices  used in  calculating the  net
present value of  the Program's proved  reserves at December 31,  1995
will actually be realized for such production.

     The  process  of  estimating oil  and  gas  reserves is  complex,
requiring  significant  subjective  decisions  in  the  evaluation  of
available  geological,  engineering,  and   economic  data  for   each
reservoir.   The data for  a given reservoir  may change substantially
over time as a  result of, among other things,  additional development
activity,  production  history,  and  viability  of  production  under
varying economic  conditions; consequently, it is  reasonably possible
that material revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur in the
near future.  Although every reasonable effort has been made to ensure
that the reserve estimates reported herein represent the most accurate
assessment possible,  the  significance of  the  subjective  decisions
required and variances  in available data for various  reservoirs make
these estimates generally less  precise than other estimates presented
in connection with financial statement disclosures.  


                          Proved Reserves and
                           Net Present Value
                         From Proved Reserves

                        As of December 31, 1995

        Estimated proved reserves:
          Natural gas (Mcf)                   1,274,196
          Oil and liquids (Bbls)                  1,541

        Net present value
          (discounted at 10% per annum)      $1,096,261


     No  estimates of the proved reserves of the Program comparable to
those included herein  have been  included in reports  to any  federal
agency other than  the SEC.   Additional information  relating to  the
Program's proved  reserves is  contained  in Note 4  to the  Program's
financial statements, included in Item 8 of this Annual Report.

     Significant Properties 

     As of December 31, 1995, the Program's properties consisted of 12
gross (1.62 net) productive wells in which the Program owned a working
interest.  The Program owned a non-working interest in an additional 6
gross wells.  As of December 31, 1995, the Program's  net interests in
its  properties  resulted  in   estimated  total  proved  reserves  of
1,274,196 Mcf of  natural gas and 1,541 barrels of  oil with a present
value (discounted at 10%  per annum) of estimated future net cash flow
of  $1,096,261.   Affiliates of  the Program  operate 6  (33%) of  the
Program's total wells.  All  of the Program's reserves are located  in
the  Anadarko Basin of western Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle, which
is an established oil and gas producing basin.  



     Title to Oil and Gas Properties

     Management believes  that the  Program has satisfactory  title to
its oil and gas properties.   Record title to substantially all of the
Program's properties is held by Dyco as nominee.

     Title  to  the  Program's  properties  is  subject  to  customary
royalty, overriding  royalty,  carried,  working,  and  other  similar
interests and contractual  arrangements customary in  the oil and  gas
industry,  to liens  for  current  taxes not  yet  due,  and to  other
encumbrances.  Management believes that such burdens do not materially
detract  from the  value  of such  properties  or from  the  Program's
interest  therein  or  materially  interfere  with  their  use in  the
operation of the Program's business.  


ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     To  the  knowledge of  the management  of  Dyco and  the Program,
neither Dyco, the Program, nor the Program's properties are subject to
any litigation, the  results of which would have a  material effect on
the Program's or Dyco's financial condition or operations. 


ITEM 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF LIMITED PARTNERS

     There were no matters submitted to a vote of the limited partners
during 1995.

ITEM 5.   MARKET  FOR THE  REGISTRANT'S LIMITED PARTNERSHIP  UNITS AND
          RELATED LIMITED PARTNER MATTERS

     The Program does not  have an established trading market  for its
units of  limited partnership  interest  ("Units").   Pursuant to  the
terms of the Program's limited partnership agreement, Dyco, as General
Partner,  is obligated to annually  offer a repurchase  offer which is
based on the estimated future net revenues from the Program's reserves
and is calculated  pursuant to  the terms of  the limited  partnership
agreement.   Such repurchase offer is recalculated monthly in order to
reflect  cash distributions  made to  the limited  partners  and other
extraordinary events.  The following table sets forth, for the periods
indicated,  Dyco's repurchase  offer per  Unit and  the amount  of the
Program's  cash distributions  per  Unit for  the  same period.    For
purposes  of   this  Annual  Report,  a  Unit  represents  an  initial
subscription of $5,000 to the Program.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Results of Operations

                            General  
                            -------

     The following  general discussion  should be read  in conjunction
with  the  analysis  of results  of  operations  provided  below.   In
management's view, it is not possible to predict accurately either the
short-term or  long-term prices for oil or  gas.  Specifically, due to
the  oversupply of  natural  gas  in  recent  years,  certain  of  the
Program's  gas producing  properties  have suffered,  and continue  to
suffer  during  portions  of  the year,  production  curtailments  and
seasonal reductions  in the  prices  paid by  purchasers.   Additional
curtailments and seasonal or  regional price reductions will adversely
affect the operations  and financial  condition of the  Program.   Gas
sales prices,  which have  generally declined significantly  since the
mid-1980s,  increased during the fourth quarter of 1995.  See "Item 1.
Business - Competition and Marketing."   Actual future prices received
by  the Program will likely be different  from (and may be lower than)
the prices in effect on December 31,  1995.  In many past years, year-
end prices have tended  to be higher, and in  some cases significantly
higher, than the yearly average price actually received by the Program
for  at   least  the  year  following  the  year-end  valuation  date.
Management is unable  to predict  whether future gas  prices will  (i)
stabilize,  (ii) increase,  or  (iii) decrease.    The amount  of  the
Program's  cash flow, however, is dependent on such future gas prices.


                Year Ended December 31, 1995 Compared 
                    to Year Ended December 31, 1994
             -------------------------------------

     Total  oil and  gas  sales decreased  22.8%  for the  year  ended
December 31, 1995  as compared to  the year  ended December 31,  1994.
This decrease  was due to  decreases in  both the volumes  of oil  and
natural gas sold and the average price of natural gas sold,  partially
offset  by an increase in  the average price of  oil sold.  Volumes of
oil  and  natural gas  sold decreased  by  59 barrels  and  14,361 Mcf
respectively for the year  ended December 31, 1995 as compared  to the
year ended December 31, 1994.  The decrease in  volumes of natural gas
sold  was  primarily due  to  a prior  period  volume adjustment  by a
purchaser during the year ended December 31, 1995.  Average oil prices
increased  to $17.25 per barrel  for the year  ended December 31, 1995
from $16.52 per barrel for the  year ended December 31, 1994.  Average
natural  gas  prices decreased  to $1.31  per Mcf  for the  year ended
December 31, 1995 from $1.61  per Mcf for the year  ended December 31,
1994.  
                                  12

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
expenses and  production taxes) decreased  $3,052 for  the year  ended
December 31, 1995  as compared  to the year  ended December 31,  1994.
This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the  volumes of oil
and natural  gas sold.   As a percentage of  oil and gas  sales, these
expenses  increased to 29.7% for the year ended December 31, 1995 from
23.6%  for the year ended December 31, 1994.  This percentage increase
was primarily a result of the decrease in the average price of natural
gas sold and the fixed nature of certain lease operating expenses. 

     Depreciation,  depletion,  and   amortization  of  oil  and   gas
properties  decreased by $130,543 for the year ended December 31, 1995
as  compared to the year  ended December 31, 1994.   This decrease was
primarily a result of the decrease in oil and natural gas sales and  a
significant  increase  in  the  estimate of  the  Program's  remaining
natural gas reserves at December 31, 1995.  As a percentage of oil and
gas  sales, this  expense  decreased  to  21.7%  for  the  year  ended
December 31, 1995  from 45.3%  for the  year ended  December 31, 1994.
This percentage decrease was  primarily due to the dollar  decrease in
depreciation, depletion,  and amortization discussed  above, partially
offset by the decrease in oil and gas sales.

     As a  result of  a  decline in  natural gas  prices, the  Program
recognized  a non-cash charge against earnings of $180,629  during the
year ended December  31, 1995.  This  valuation allowance for  oil and
gas properties was  necessary due to the unamortized costs  of oil and
gas properties  exceeding the  present value  of estimated  future net
revenues  from the  oil  and gas  properties.   No similar  charge was
necessary during the year ended December 31, 1994.

     General and  administrative expenses increased by  $4,730 for the
year  ended   December 31,  1995  as   compared  to  the   year  ended
December 31,  1994.  This  dollar increase resulted  primarily from an
increase in  both professional fees and printing  and postage expenses
during the year  ended December 31,  1995 as compared  to the  similar
period in 1994.   As a percentage  of oil and gas  sales, this expense
increased to 20.0% for the year ended December 31, 1995 from 14.4% for
the year  ended  December 31,  1994.   This  percentage  increase  was
primarily  a result  of  the decrease  in  oil and  natural gas  sales
discussed above.

                Year Ended December 31, 1994 Compared 
                    to Year Ended December 31, 1993
             -------------------------------------

     Total  oil and  gas  sales decreased  29.2%  for the  year  ended
December 31,  1994 as compared  to the  year ended  December 31, 1993.
This decrease was  due to decreases in the  volumes and average prices
of  oil and natural  gas sold.   Volumes of  oil and natural  gas sold
decreased 578 barrels and 60,809 Mcf, respectively, for the year ended
December 31, 1994 as  compared to  the year  ended December 31,  1993.
The decrease  in volumes of oil  and natural gas sold  was primarily a
result  of the decline in  production from diminished  oil and natural
gas  reserves.  Average oil and natural gas prices decreased to $16.52
per barrel and $1.61 per Mcf for the year ended December 31, 1994 from
averages  of $17.48 per  barrel and $1.85  per Mcf for  the year ended
December 31, 1993.

     Oil  and  gas  production  expenses  (including  lease  operating
expenses  and  production taxes)  decreased  6.0% for  the  year ended
December 31, 1994  as compared to  the year  ended December 31,  1993.
This  decrease was  primarily due  to a  decrease in  production taxes
associated with the decrease in  volumes of oil and natural gas  sold,
partially offset by lease operating expenses which remained relatively
constant  reflecting the fixed nature  of a portion  of such expenses.
As  a percentage  of oil  and gas  sales, these expenses  increased to
23.6% for  the year ended  December 31, 1994  from 17.8% for  the year
ended December 31,  1993.   This percentage  increase was  primarily a
result of  decreases in the average  prices of oil and  of natural gas
sold.

     Depreciation,  depletion,  and   amortization  of  oil   and  gas
properties decreased  $8,887 for the  year ended December 31,  1994 as
compared  to the year ended  December 31, 1993.   This dollar decrease
was  primarily a result of the decrease  in volumes of oil and natural
gas  sold, offset by reduced year end prices for the remaining natural
gas reserves  in 1994.   As a  percentage of oil  and gas  sales, this
expense increased to 45.3%  for the year ended December 31,  1994 from
33.4%  for the year ended December 31, 1993.  This percentage increase
was primarily  due to the decreases  in the average prices  of oil and
natural gas sold.

     General and administrative expenses decreased $3,022 for the year
ended  December 31, 1994  as compared to  the year  ended December 31,
1993.  This dollar decrease was  primarily a result of the decrease in
professional fees during the year  ended December 31, 1994 as compared
to  the year ended December 31, 1993.   As a percentage of oil and gas
sales,   these  expenses  increased  to  14.4%   for  the  year  ended
December 31, 1994  from 10.7%  for the year  ended December 31,  1993.
This percentage increase  was primarily  due to the  decreases in  the
average prices of oil and natural gas sold.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources 

     Net proceeds from operations less necessary operating capital are
distributed to the  limited partners on a quarterly basis.   See "Item
5. Market for  the Registrant's Limited Partnership  Units and Related
Limited  Partner Matters."  The  net proceeds from  production are not
reinvested in  productive assets, except to the  extent that producing
wells  are  improved, or  where methods  are  employed to  permit more
efficient  recovery  of  reserves,  thereby resulting  in  a  positive
economic  impact.    Assuming production  levels  for  the year  ended
December 31,  1995,  the   Program's  proved  reserve  quantities   at
December 31, 1995 would have a life of approximately 4.8 years for gas
reserves and 3.3 years for oil reserves.

     The  Program's  available  capital  from  the  limited  partners'
subscriptions  has been spent on  oil and gas  drilling activities and
there should  be no further  material capital resource  commitments in
the  future.    The  Program  has  no  debt  commitments.    Cash  for
operational  purposes  will  be  provided  by   current  oil  and  gas
production.

     There can  be  no assurance  as to  the amount  of the  Program's
future  cash  distributions.    The Program's  ability  to  make  cash
distributions depends primarily upon the level of  available cash flow
generated  by  the  Program's  operating  activities,  which  will  be
affected (either  positively or negatively) by many factors beyond the
control of  the Program, including the price of and demand for oil and
natural gas and other market and economic conditions.   Even if prices
and  costs   remain  stable,  the   amount  of   cash  available   for
distributions will decline over time (as the volume of production from
producing  properties declines)  since  the Program  is not  replacing
production through acquisitions of producing  properties and drilling.



     Inflation and Changing Prices

     Prices  obtained for oil and gas  production depend upon numerous
factors,  including the  extent  of domestic  and foreign  production,
foreign  imports of oil, market  demand, domestic and foreign economic
conditions in general, and governmental regulations and tax laws.  The
general level  of inflation  in the  economy did  not have a  material
effect on  the operations of the Program in 1995.  Oil and natural gas
prices have  fluctuated during  recent years  and  generally have  not
followed  the same  pattern as  inflation.   See "Item 2. Properties -
Oil & Gas Production, Revenues, and Price History."

ITEM 8.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA




                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



TO THE PARTNERS

DYCO OIL AND GAS PROGRAM 1984-2 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP


     We have audited the financial statements  of the Dyco Oil and Gas
Program 1984-2  Limited Partnership (a Minnesota  limited partnership)
as listed in Item 14(a) of this Form 10-K.  These financial statements
are   the   responsibility  of   the   Program's   management.     Our
responsibility is to express an opinion  on these financial statements
based on our audits.

     We  conducted our  audits in  accordance with  generally accepted
auditing  standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the  financial
statements  are  free of  material  misstatement.   An  audit includes
examining, on a test  basis, evidence supporting the amounts  and dis-
closures  in  the  financial  statements.    An  audit  also  includes
assessing  the accounting  principles used  and significant  estimates
made by  management,  as  well  as evaluating  the  overall  financial
statement  presentation.    We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.  

     In  our  opinion,  the  financial statements  referred  to  above
present fairly, in  all material respects,  the financial position  of

          DYCO OIL AND GAS PROGRAM 1984-2 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                     Notes to Financial Statements
         For the Years Ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993


1.   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Organization and Nature of Operations

     The  Dyco  Oil and  Gas Program  1984-2 Limited  Partnership (the
     "Program"), a Minnesota limited partnership, commenced operations
     on  November 5, 1984.  Dyco Petroleum Corporation ("Dyco") is the
     General  Partner  of the  Program.    Affiliates  of  Dyco  owned
     1,495.13 (28.5%) of the Program's Units at December 31, 1995.  

     The Program's sole business is the development and production  of
     oil  and  natural  gas  with  a  concentration  on  natural  gas.
     Substantially all of the Program's natural gas reserves are being
     sold  regionally in  the  "spot  market."    Due  to  the  highly
     competitive  nature of the spot market, prices on the spot market
     are subject  to wide seasonal and  regional pricing fluctuations.
     In  addition, such spot market  sales are generally short-term in
     nature  and are  dependent upon  the obtaining  of transportation
     services provided by pipelines.  


     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The  Program  considers  all  highly liquid  investments  with  a
     maturity  of three  months  or less  when  purchased to  be  cash
     equivalents.   Cash equivalents are  not insured, which cause the
     Program to be subject to risk.


     Credit Risk

     Accrued oil and gas sales which are due from a variety of oil and
     natural gas purchasers subject the Program to a  concentration of
     credit risk.   Some of these purchasers are discussed in Note 3 -
     Major Customers.


     Oil and Gas Properties 

     Oil  and gas  operations are  accounted for  using the  full cost
     method of  accounting.   All productive and  non-productive costs
     associated with  the acquisition, exploration, and development of
     oil  and gas  reserves are  capitalized.   Capitalized  costs are
     depleted on the  gross revenue method  using estimates of  proved
     reserves.  The full cost amortization rates per equivalent Mcf of
     gas produced during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and

                                  21
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     1993  were $0.29, $0.74, and  $0.63, respectively.   In the event
     the unamortized  cost of oil  and gas properties  being amortized
     exceeds the full cost  ceiling (as defined by the  Securities and
     Exchange Commission) the excess is charged to expense in the year
     during which such excess occurs.  In addition, the Securities and
     Exchange   Commission  rules  provide   that  if  prices  decline
     subsequent  to year  end,  any  excess  that results  from  these
     declines  may also be charged to expense during the current year.
     During the year  ended December 31, 1995, the  Program charged to
     expense a valuation allowance  of $180,629, which represented the
     amount  of unamortized oil and gas  properties which exceeded the
     full cost  ceiling.   Of such valuation  allowance, $122,684  and
     $57,945, respectively,  should  have been  recognized during  the
     first and third quarters  of 1995 and reflected in  the Program's
     Quarterly Reports on Form  10-Q for the three months  ended March
     31, 1995 and September 30, 1995, respectively.  However, of these
     amounts, only  $24,354 was  reflected in the  Program's Quarterly
     Report  on Form  10-Q for  the three  months ended  September 30,
     1995.   No such charge to  expense was recorded in  1994 or 1993.
     Sales  and  abandonments  of  properties  are  accounted  for  as
     adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized,
     unless   such   adjustments   would   significantly   alter   the
     relationship  between capitalized  costs and  proved oil  and gas
     reserves.


     Deferred Charge

     Deferred  Charge represents  costs  deferred for  lease operating
     expenses incurred in connection  with the Program's underproduced
     gas imbalance  position.  At December 31,  1995, cumulative total
     gas  sales volumes  for underproduced  wells were  less than  the
     Program's pro-rata share of total gas production from these wells
     by 108,731 Mcf, resulting in prepaid lease operating expenses  of
     $27,063.    At  December 31,  1994, cumulative  total  gas  sales
     volumes for underproduced wells were less than the Program's pro-
     rata  share of total gas  production from these  wells by 148,265
     Mcf, resulting in prepaid lease operating expenses of $43,352.

     Accrued Liability  

     Accrued  Liability represents charges accrued for lease operating
     expenses incurred in  connection with the Program's  overproduced
     gas imbalance  position.  At December 31,  1995, cumulative total
     gas sales  volumes for overproduced wells  exceeded the Program's
     pro-rata share of total gas production from these wells by 59,454
     Mcf, resulting  in accrued  lease operating expenses  of $14,798.
     At  December 31, 1994,  cumulative  total gas  sales volumes  for
     overproduced wells exceeded the Program's pro-rata share of total
     gas  production from  these  wells by  60,853  Mcf, resulting  in
     accrued lease operating expenses of $17,793.  


     Oil and Gas Sales and Gas Imbalance Payable  

     The  Program's  oil  and  condensate production  is  sold,  title
     passed, and  revenue recognized  at or  near the  Program's wells
     under  short-term purchase  contracts  at  prevailing  prices  in
     accordance  with  arrangements which  are  customary  in the  oil
     industry.   Sales  of natural  gas  applicable to  the  Program's
     interest in producing oil  and gas leases are recorded  as income
     when the gas is metered and title transferred pursuant to the gas
     sales contracts  covering the  Program's interest in  natural gas
     reserves.  During such times as the Program's sales of gas exceed
     its pro  rata ownership  in a  well, such  sales are  recorded as
     income  unless  total  sales  from the  well  have  exceeded  the
     Program's share  of estimated  total gas reserves  underlying the
     property  at which time such  excess is recorded  as a liability.
     At December 31, 1995, total sales exceeded the Program's share of
     estimated total gas reserves  on one well by $3,896  (2,008 Mcf).
     At December 31, 1994, total sales exceeded the Program's share of
     estimated  total gas reserves on two wells by $8,943 (5,962 Mcf).
     These amounts  were recorded as gas imbalance  payables at Decem-
     ber 31, 1995 and 1994 in accordance with the sales method.   


     Use of Estimates in Financial Statements

     The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with
     generally accepted  accounting principles requires  management to
     make estimates  and assumptions that affect  the reported amounts
     of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
     liabilities  at the  date  of the  financial  statements and  the
     reported amounts  of revenues  and expenses during  the reporting
     period.    Actual  results  could differ  from  those  estimates.
     Further,  accrued oil and gas sales, the deferred charge, the gas
     imbalance  payable,  the  accrued  liability,  and the  valuation
     allowance  all involve  estimates which  could materially  differ
     from the actual amounts ultimately realized or incurred in the

                                  23

<PAGE>
     near  term.   Oil  and  gas reserves  (see  Note 4)  also involve
     significant  estimates which  could  materially  differ from  the
     actual amounts ultimately realized.   

     Income Taxes

     Income  or  loss for  income tax  purposes  is includable  in the
     income tax  returns of the partners.  Accordingly, no recognition
     has  been given  to income  taxes in  the accompanying  financial
     statements.


2.   TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

     Under the terms of the  Program's partnership agreement, Dyco  is
     entitled to  receive a reimbursement for all  direct expenses and
     general and administrative,  geological, and engineering expenses
     it incurs on  behalf of the Partnership.   During the years ended
     December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, such expenses totaled $70,819,
     $66,089,  and $69,111, respectively,  of which  $56,472, $56,472,
     and $55,929, were paid to Dyco and its affiliates.

     Affiliates  of  the  Program  operate certain  of  the  Program's
     properties.   Their  policy  is  to  bill  the  Program  for  all
     customary charges and  cost reimbursements associated with  these
     activities, together  with any compressor rentals, consulting, or
     other services provided.

     The Program sells  gas at  market prices to  Premier Gas  Company
     ("Premier")  and other similar  gas marketing firms.   Such firms
     may  then  resell such  gas to  third  parties at  market prices.
     Premier was an affiliate  of the Program until December  6, 1995.
     During  1995,  1994,  and  1993, these  sales  totaled  $328,723,
     $449,254, and  $613,621, respectively.  At  December 31, 1995 and
     1994 accrued  oil and  gas sales  included  $66,414 and  $75,009,
     respectively, due from Premier.


3.   MAJOR CUSTOMERS

     The following purchaser individually  accounted for more than 10%
     of the combined oil and gas revenues of the Program for the years
     ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993:

          Premier                   93.0%    98.1%    94.8%

     In  the event of  interruption of  purchases by  this significant
     customer or  the cessation or material change  in availability of
     open-access    transportation    by   the    Program's   pipeline
     transporters, the  Program may encounter difficulty  in marketing
     its gas and  in maintaining historic  sales levels.   Alternative
     purchasers or transporters may not be readily available.

     Quantities of Proved Oil and Gas Reserves - Unaudited
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
     Set forth below is a summary of the changes in the net quantities of the Program's  proved
     crude  oil and natural gas reserves for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993.
     Proved reserves were estimated by petroleum engineers employed by affiliates of Dyco.  All
     of the Program's reserves are located in the United States.

     The  process  of  estimating oil  and  gas  reserves is  complex,
     requiring significant  subjective decisions in the  evaluation of
     available geological,  engineering, and  economic  data for  each
     reservoir.    The   data  for  a   given  reservoir  may   change
     substantially  over time  as  a result  of,  among other  things,
     additional   development   activity,   production  history,   and
     viability of  production under varying economic  conditions; con-
     sequently, it  is reasonably possible that  material revisions to
     existing  reserve  estimates  may   occur  in  the  near  future.
     Although every reasonable effort has been made to ensure that the
     reserve  estimates  reported herein  represent the  most accurate
     assessment possible, the significance of the subjective decisions
     required and  variances in available data  for various reservoirs
     make these estimates generally  less precise than other estimates
     presented in connection with financial statement disclosures.

ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     The  Program  is a  limited  partnership and,  therefore,  has no

paid by the Program as compensation and reimbursements to Dyco and its
affiliates for the three years ended December 31, 1995:

                                        -------  -------  -------
Compensation:

    Expenses and Direct 
    Expenses(4)                         $56,472  $56,472  $55,929

----------
(1)  The authority for all  of such compensation and  reimbursement is
     the  limited partnership agreement of the  Program.  With respect
     to  the  Operations activities  noted  in  the table,  management
     believes that such  compensation is  equal to or  less than  that
     charged by unaffiliated persons in  the same geographic areas and
     under the same conditions.
(2)  Affiliates of  the Program  serve  as operator  of a  significant
     portion  of  the  Program's wells.    Dyco,  as  General Partner,
     contracts with  such affiliates for  services as operator  of the
     wells.  As  operator, such  affiliates are  compensated at  rates
     provided in the operating agreements in effect and charged to all
     parties to such  agreement.   The dollar amount  of such  compen-
     sation  paid by the Program  to such affiliates  is impossible to
     quantify as of the date of this Annual Report. 
(3)  Premier, an  affiliate  of the  Program until  December 6,  1995,
     purchased a portion  of the  Program's gas at  market prices  and
     resold  such gas at market prices directly to end-users and local
     distribution companies.   For the years  ended December 31, 1995,
     1994,  and  1993,  the   Program  sold  $328,723,  $449,254,  and
     $613,621, respectively, of gas to Premier.  
(4)  The Program reimburses Dyco and its affiliates for reasonable and
     necessary general and administrative, geological, and engineering
     expenses and  direct expenses  incurred in connection  with their
     management  and  operation  of   the  Program.    The  directors,
     officers,  and employees  of Dyco and  its affiliates  receive no
     direct remuneration  from the Program  for their services  to the
     Program.  See "Salary Reimbursement  Table" below.  The allocable
     general  and administrative, geological, and engineering expenses
     are  apportioned  on a  reasonable  basis  between the  Program's
     business and all other oil and natural gas activities of Dyco and
     its  affiliates, including  Dyco's  management  and operation  of
     affiliated oil and  gas limited partnerships.   The allocation to
     the Program of these costs is made by Dyco as General Partner.

     As  noted  in  the  Compensation/Reimbursement  Table  above, the
directors,  officers,  and  employees  of Dyco  and  their  affiliates
receive  no direct remuneration  from the Program  for their services.
However, to the extent such services represent direct involvement with
the Program, as opposed to  general corporate functions, such persons'
salaries  are  allocated  to and  reimbursed  by  the  Program.   Such
allocation to  the Program's  general and  administrative, geological,
and engineering expenses of  the salaries of directors, officers,  and
employees  of Dyco  and its  affiliates is  based on  internal records
maintained  by  Dyco  and  its  affiliates,  and  represents  investor
relations, legal, accounting,  data processing, management, and  other
functions  directly attributable  to  the Program's  operations.   The
following  table  indicates  the  approximate amount  of  general  and
administrative expense  reimbursement attributable to the  salaries of
the  directors, officers, and employees of Dyco and its affiliates for
the three years ended December 31, 1995:

     In  addition  to  the  compensation/reimbursements  noted  above,
during  the three years ended December 31,  1995, the Samson Companies
were in the  business of  supplying field and  drilling equipment  and
services to affiliated and unaffiliated parties in the industry.  Such
companies  may have provided equipment and services for wells in which
the  Program has  an  interest.   These  equipment and  services  were
provided  at prices  or rates  equal  to or  less than  those normally
charged in  the same  or comparable  geographic  area by  unaffiliated
persons or companies dealing  at arm's length.  The operators of these
wells  bill the  Program for a  portion of  such costs  based upon the
Program's interest in the well.  


ITEM 12.  SECURITY   OWNERSHIP  OF   CERTAIN  BENEFICIAL   OWNERS  AND
          MANAGEMENT

     The  following table  provides information  as to  the beneficial
ownership  of  the Program's  Units as  of  December 31, 1995  by each
beneficial owner of more than  5% of the issued and  outstanding Units
and  by the directors, officers, and affiliates  of Dyco.  The address
of  each of  such persons  is Samson  Plaza, Two  West Second  Street,
Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103.

       and Dyco (8 persons)                1,495.13  (28.5%)


     To the best  knowledge of  the Program  and Dyco,  there were  no
officers,  directors,  or 5%  owners  who  were  delinquent filers  of
reports  required under section 16  of the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     Dyco  and certain  of  its  affiliates  engage  in  oil  and  gas
activities  independently of the Program  which result in conflicts of
interest  that  cannot  be  totally eliminated.    The  allocation  of
acquisition  and   drilling  opportunities  and  the   nature  of  the
compensation  arrangements between  the Program  and Dyco  also create
potential  conflicts of  interest.   Dyco  and  its affiliates  own  a
significant  amount  of the  Program's  Units  and therefore  have  an
identity of interest with  other limited partners with respect  to the
operations of the Program. 

     In  order  to attempt  to  assure limited  liability  for limited
partners as well  as an orderly conduct of business, management of the
Program is exercised solely by Dyco.  The partnership agreement of the
Program grants Dyco broad discretionary authority with respect to  the
Program's  participation  in drilling  prospects  and expenditure  and
control of funds, including borrowings.  The provisions are similar to
those contained  in prospectuses and partnership  agreements for other
public  oil  and gas  partnerships.   Broad  discretion as  to general
management  of  the  Program  involves circumstances  where  Dyco  has
conflicts of interest and  where it must allocate costs  and expenses,
or opportunities, among the Program and other competing interests. 

     Dyco  does not  devote all  of its  time, efforts,  and personnel
exclusively  to the Program.   Furthermore, the Program  does not have
any  employees,  but instead  relies on  the  personnel of  the Samson
Companies.    The  Program thus  competes  with  the Samson  Companies
(including other  currently sponsored oil  and gas  programs) for  the
time and resources  of such  personnel.  The  Samson Companies  devote
such  time  and personnel  to the  management  of the  Program  as are
indicated  by the  circumstances  and as  are  consistent with  Dyco's
fiduciary duties. 

     Affiliates  of  the  Program   are  solely  responsible  for  the
negotiation,  administration, and  enforcement  of oil  and gas  sales
agreements covering the Program's leasehold interests.  Until December
6,  1995,  Dyco had  delegated  the  negotiation, administration,  and
enforcement  of its  oil  and gas  sales  agreements to  Premier.   In
addition to  providing such administrative services, Premier purchased
and resold gas directly to end-users and local distribution companies.
Because  affiliates of the Program who provide services to the Program
have  fiduciary or  other  duties  to  other  members  of  the  Samson
Companies, contract amendments and negotiating positions taken by them
in  their  effort  to  enforce   contracts  with  purchasers  may  not
necessarily  represent the positions that the Program would take if it
were to  administer its own  contracts without involvement  with other
members  of the  Samson  Companies.   On  the other  hand,  management
believes  that  the  Program's negotiating  strength  and  contractual
positions have been  enhanced by  virtue of its  affiliation with  the
Samson Companies.
