                                  Part I

Item 1.   Business

General
Southwest  Developmental  Drilling Fund 92-A, L.P.  (the  "Partnership"  or
"Registrant")  was organized as a Delaware limited partnership  on  May  5,
1992.   The offering of limited and general partner interests began  August
11,  1992  as part of a shelf offering registered under the name  Southwest
Developmental  Drilling Program 1991-92.  Minimum capital requirements  for
the Partnership were met on December 28, 1992, with the offering of limited
and  general  partner interests concluding December 31,  1992,  with  total
investor partner contributions of $1,407,000. The Managing General  Partner
made a contribution to the capital of the Partnership at the conclusion  of
the  offering  period  in  an  amount  equal  to  1%  of  its  net  capital
contributions.  The Managing General Partner contribution was $12,030,  for
total  capital  contributions  of  $1,419,030.   The  Partnership  has   no
subsidiaries.

The  Partnership has expended its capital and acquired leasehold  interests
and  completed  drilling  operations.  The  Partnership  has  produced  and
marketed the crude oil and natural gas from such properties.

The  principal executive offices of the Partnership are located at  407  N.
Big Spring, Suite 300, Midland, Texas, 79701.  The Managing General Partner
of  the  Partnership,  Southwest Royalties,  Inc.  (the  "Managing  General
Partner")   and  its  staff  of  92  individuals,  together  with   certain
independent  consultants  used  on an "as needed"  basis,  perform  various
services on behalf of the Partnership, including the selection of leasehold
interests  upon  which drilling would be performed, and  the  marketing  of
future anticipated production from such properties.  The Partnership has no
employees.

Principal Products, Marketing and Distribution
The  Partnership has acquired undeveloped leasehold interests  and  drilled
oil and gas properties located in Texas and New Mexico.  All activities  of
the Partnership are confined to the continental United States.  All oil and
gas  produced from these properties will be sold to unrelated third parties
in the oil and gas business.

The  revenues  generated from the Partnership's oil and gas activities  are
dependent upon the current market for oil and gas.  The prices received  by
the Partnership for its oil and gas production depend upon numerous factors
beyond   the   Partnership's  control,  including  competition,   economic,
political  and regulatory developments and competitive energy sources,  and
make it particularly difficult to estimate future prices of oil and natural
gas.

<PAGE>

The  year  2000 was a record year for crude oil prices.  The  world  energy
markets witnessed a continuation of the 1999 recovery seeing prices in  the
U.S.  peak at $37 per barrel in September.  Increasing demand and depleting
inventories appeared to be the motivators in crude's dramatic rise.  At the
beginning of 2000, U.S. crude oil inventories were approximately 16%  lower
than  at  the  beginning of 1999 and summer vacationers made it  through  a
travel  season  that  saw gasoline prices top $2 per gallon  in  some  U.S.
markets.  The lack of crude oil inventory in the U.S. was also magnified by
the  colder  than  normal  winter that much  of  the  country  experienced.
However,  several  production increases from OPEC  coupled  with  President
Clinton's  release  of 30 million barrels of oil from  the  U.S.  Strategic
Petroleum Reserve in September contributed to the slow in prices toward the
end  of the year.  After averaging $30 per barrel for the year and over $32
from August through November, oil prices closed out the year 2000 at $26.80
per barrel.

Tighter supplies, rising demand, and the return of more seasonal summer and
winter  weather  catapulted spot gas prices in 2000 to the  highest  levels
since  the market was deregulated in the mid-1980's.  Average monthly  spot
prices  rose  an astounding 72.9% over 1999 levels to average  $3.77/MMBTU.
The  climb in prices was fairly steady throughout the year, with the first-
quarter  spot prices averaging $2.44/MMBtu.  After the winter season  ended
with  a  huge  storage  deficit  of  306  BCF,  a  combination  of  factors
contributed  further  to the upward trend in spot prices.   As  the  summer
temperatures  heated  up  and  the  rate  of  storage  injections  remained
sluggish,  competition  for  gas  supplies  became  fierce  between   power
generators  and  gas utilities attempting to refill storage.   Spot  prices
really took off in the fourth quarter as competition for storage gas in the
waning days of the refill season became supercharged.  And then came  weeks
of  early  heating-season cold, which caused gas utilities to  scramble  to
meet  the  heating loads.  A year of record high prices was capped  off  in
December,  with spot prices averaging $6.14/MMBtu, more than two-and-a-half
times the previous five-year December average of $2.43/MMBtu.

Following  is a table of the ratios of revenues received from oil  and  gas
production for the last three years:

                                  Oil          Gas

                    2000          78%          22%
                    1999          77%          23%
                    1998          74%          26%

As  the table indicates, the majority of the Partnership's revenue is  from
its   oil  production;  therefore,  Partnership  revenues  will  be  highly
dependent upon the future prices and demands of oil.

Seasonality of Business
Although the demand for natural gas is highly seasonal, with higher  demand
in  the colder winter months and in very hot summer months, the Partnership
anticipates  that  it  will  be able to sell all  of  the  expected  future
production  of natural gas, either through contracts or on the spot  market
at the then prevailing spot market price.

<PAGE>

Customer Dependence
No  material portion of the Partnership's business is dependent on a single
purchaser,  or a very few purchasers, where the loss of one  would  have  a
material adverse impact on the Partnership.  Three purchasers accounted for
94%  of  the Partnership's total oil and gas production during 2000: Plains
Marketing LP for 63%, Navajo Refining Company, Inc. for 16% and Duke Energy
Transport for 15%.  Three purchasers accounted for 95% of the Partnership's
total  oil  and gas production during 1999: Scurlock Permian LLC  for  59%,
Duke  Energy Transport and Trad. for 20% and Navajo Refining Company,  Inc.
for 16%.  Three purchasers accounted for 95% of the Partnership's total oil
and  gas production during 1998: Scurlock Permian Corporation for 59%, Duke
Energy  Transport and Trad. for 20% and Navajo Refining Company,  Inc.  for
16%.     All  purchasers of the Partnership's oil and  gas  production  are
unrelated  third parties.  In the event this purchaser were to  discontinue
purchasing  the  Partnership's  production, the  Managing  General  Partner
believes that a substitute purchaser or purchasers could be located without
undue  delay.   No  other purchaser accounted for an  amount  equal  to  or
greater than 10% of the Partnership's total oil and gas production.

Competition
Because  the  Partnership has utilized all of its funds available  for  the
acquisition  of  drilling  prospects and drilling  activities,  it  is  not
subject  to  competition from other oil and gas property  purchasers.   See
Item 2, Properties.

Factors  that  may  adversely  affect the  Partnership  include  delays  in
completing  arrangements  for  the sale of production,  availability  of  a
market for production, rising operating costs of producing oil and gas  and
complying  with  applicable  water  and  air  pollution  control  statutes,
increasing  costs  and  difficulties of transportation,  and  marketing  of
competitive  fuels.   Moreover, domestic oil  and  gas  must  compete  with
imported oil and gas and with coal, atomic energy, hydroelectric power  and
other forms of energy.

Regulation

Oil  and Gas Production - The production and sale of oil and gas is subject
to  federal and state governmental regulation in several respects, such  as
existing price controls on natural gas and possible price controls on crude
oil,  regulation of oil and gas production by state and local  governmental
agencies, pollution and environmental controls and various other direct and
indirect   regulation.    Many  jurisdictions  have  periodically   imposed
limitations on oil and gas production by restricting the rate of  flow  for
oil  and  gas wells below their actual capacity to produce and by  imposing
acreage limitations for the drilling of wells.  The federal government  has
the  power  to  permit increases in the amount of oil imported  from  other
countries and to impose pollution control measures.

<PAGE>

Various  aspects of the Partnership's oil and gas activities are  regulated
by  administrative agencies under statutory provisions of the states  where
such  activities  are  conducted and by certain  agencies  of  the  federal
government for operations on Federal leases.  Moreover, certain  prices  at
which  the  Partnership may sell its future expected natural gas production
are  controlled  by  the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978,  the  Natural  Gas
Wellhead  Decontrol  Act  of 1989 and the regulations  promulgated  by  the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Environmental  - The Partnership's oil and gas activities  are  subject  to
extensive  federal,  state  and local laws and  regulations  governing  the
generation,  storage, handling, emission, transportation and  discharge  of
materials into the environment.  Governmental authorities have the power to
enforce compliance with their regulations, and violations carry substantial
penalties.   This  regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry  increases
its cost of doing business and consequently affects its profitability.  The
Managing  General  Partner  is  unable to  predict  what,  if  any,  effect
compliance will have on the Partnership.

Industry  Regulations  and  Guidelines - Certain industry  regulations  and
guidelines  apply to the registration, qualification and operation  of  oil
and  gas programs in the form of limited partnerships.  The Partnership  is
subject  to  these  guidelines  which regulate  and  restrict  transactions
between  the Managing General Partner and the Partnership.  The Partnership
complies  with these guidelines and the Managing General Partner  does  not
anticipate that continued compliance will have a material adverse effect on
Partnership operations.

Partnership Employees
The Partnership has no employees; however, the Managing General Partner has
a  staff of geologists, engineers, accountants, landmen and clerical  staff
who  engage in Partnership activities and operations and perform additional
services  for  the  Partnership as needed.  In  addition  to  the  Managing
General  Partner's  staff, the Partnership engages independent  consultants
such  as petroleum engineers and geologists as needed.  As of December  31,
2000,  there were 92 individuals directly employed by the Managing  General
Partner in various capacities.

Item 2.   Properties

In  determining  whether an interest in a particular leasehold  was  to  be
acquired,  the  Managing  General  Partner  considered  such  criteria   as
estimated  drilling costs, estimated oil and gas reserves,  estimated  cash
flow  from the sale of future production, present and future prices of  oil
and   gas,  the  extent  of  undeveloped  and  unproved  reserves  and  the
availability of markets.

As  of December 31, 2000, the Partnership possessed an interest in oil  and
gas properties located in Ward County of Texas and Lea and Eddy Counties of
New Mexico.  These properties consist of various interests in 9 wells.

Due  to  the  Partnership's  objective of  maintaining  current  operations
without  engaging  in  the  additional drilling  of  any  developmental  or
exploratory  wells,  or  additional acquisitions of  producing  properties,
there has not been any significant changes in properties during 2000,  1999
and 1998.

*Ryder Scott Petroleum Engineer prepared the reserve and present value data
for  the  Partnership's existing properties as of  January  1,  2001.   The
reserve  estimates were made in accordance with guidelines  established  by
the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  pursuant  to  Rule  4-10(a)  of
Regulation  S-X.   Such guidelines require oil and gas reserve  reports  be
prepared  under  existing  economic  and  operating  conditions   with   no
provisions   for   price   and  cost  escalation  except   by   contractual
arrangements.

The  New York Mercantile Exchange price at December 31, 2000 of $26.80  was
used  as the beginning basis for the oil price.  Oil price adjustments from
$26.80  per  barrel were made in the individual evaluations to reflect  oil
quality,  gathering and transportation costs.  The results are  an  average
price received at the lease of $26.17 per barrel in the preparation of  the
reserve report as of January 1, 2001.

In  the  determination of the gas price, the New York  Mercantile  Exchange
price  at December 31, 2000 of $9.78 was used as the beginning basis.   Gas
price   adjustments  from  $9.78  per  Mcf  were  made  in  the  individual
evaluations to reflect BTU content, gathering and transportation costs  and
gas processing and shrinkage.  The results are an average price received at
the  lease of $9.99 per Mcf in the preparation of the reserve report as  of
January 1, 2001.

As  also discussed in Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis
of  Financial Condition and Results of Operations, oil and gas prices  were
subject to frequent changes in 2000.

<PAGE>

The  evaluation  of  oil and gas properties is not  an  exact  science  and
inevitably involves a significant degree of uncertainty, particularly  with
respect to the quantity of oil or gas that any given property is capable of
producing.   Estimates  of  oil and gas reserves  are  based  on  available
geological and engineering data, the extent and quality of which  may  vary
in  each  case  and,  in  certain instances, may prove  to  be  inaccurate.
Consequently,  properties may be depleted more rapidly than the  geological
and engineering data have indicated.

Unanticipated  depletion, if it occurs, will result in lower reserves  than
previously  estimated; thus an ultimately lower return for the Partnership.
As  new  data  is  gathered during the subsequent year, the  engineer  must
revise  his  earlier  estimates.   A year  of  new  information,  which  is
pertinent  to  the estimation of future recoverable volumes,  is  available
during the subsequent year evaluation.  In applying industry standards  and
procedures,  the new data may cause the previous estimates to  be  revised.
This  revision  may  increase  or decrease the earlier  estimated  volumes.
Pertinent   information  gathered  during  the  year  may  include   actual
production and decline rates, production from offset wells drilled  to  the
same   geologic   formation,  increased  or  decreased  water   production,
workovers,  and  changes  in  lifting costs,  among  others.   Accordingly,
reserve  estimates are often different from the quantities of oil  and  gas
that are ultimately recovered.

The  Partnership  has  reserves which are classified  as  proved  developed
producing.   All  of  the proved reserves are included in  the  engineering
reports which evaluate the Partnership's present reserves.

Item 3.   Legal Proceedings

There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Partnership is
a party.

Item 4.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No  matter  was submitted to a vote of security holders during  the  fourth
quarter of 2000 through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

Item 5.   Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
          Matters

Market Information
Investor  partner  interests, or units, in the Partnership  were  initially
offered  and  sold for a price of $1,000.  Investor partner units  are  not
traded  on any exchange and there is no public or organized trading  market
for  them.   Further, a transferee may not become a substitute  limited  or
general partner without the consent of the Managing General Partner.

The  Managing  General Partner has the right, but not  the  obligation,  to
purchase limited partnership units should an investor desire to sell.   The
value  of  the  unit is determined by adding the sum of (1) current  assets
less  liabilities  and  (2) the present value of the  future  net  revenues
attributable to proved reserves and by discounting the future net  revenues
at  a rate not in excess of the prime rate charged by Nations Bank, N.A. of
Midland, Texas, plus one percent (1%), which value shall be further reduced
by  a risk factor discount of no more than one-third (1/3) to be determined
by  the  Managing General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion.   In
2000,  5  limited  partner  units were tendered to  and  purchased  by  the
Managing General Partner at an average base price of $181.86 per unit.   As
of  December 31, 1999 and 1998, no limited partner units were purchased  by
the Managing General Partner.


Number of Limited and General Partner Interest Holders
As of December 31, 2000, there were 103 holders of limited partner units.

Distributions
Pursuant  to Article IV, Section 4.01 of the Partnership's Certificate  and
Agreement  of  Limited Partnership, "Net Cash Flow" is distributed  to  the
partners  on  a  monthly basis.  "Net Cash Flow" is defined  as  "the  cash
generated  by the Partnership's drilling activities, less (i)  General  and
Administrative  Costs,  (ii)  Operating  Costs,  and  (iii)  any   reserves
necessary  to  meet  current  and anticipated  needs  of  the  Partnership,
including, but not limited to drilling cost overruns, as determined in  the
sole discretion of the Managing General Partner."

<PAGE>
During  2000,  quarterly  distributions were made totaling  $224,640,  with
$199,930  distributed to the investor partners and $24,710 to the  Managing
General  Partners.  For the year ended December 31, 2000, distributions  of
$142.10  per  investor partner unit were made, based  upon  1,407  investor
partner  units  outstanding. Distributions for 2000 increased significantly
due to the record high oil and gas prices received during the year.  During
1999, distributions were made totaling $85,000, with $75,650 distributed to
the investor partners and $9,350 to the Managing General Partners.  For the
year  ended December 31, 1999, distributions of $53.77 per investor partner
unit were made, based upon 1,407 investor partner units outstanding. During
1998, distributions were made totaling $92,200, with $82,058 distributed to
the  investor  partners and $10,142 to the Managing General Partners.   For
the  year  ended  December 31, 1998, distributions of $58.32  per  investor
partner   unit   were  made,  based  upon  1,407  investor  partner   units
outstanding.

General

Southwest  Developmental  Drilling Fund 92-A, L.P.  (the  "Partnership"  or
"Registrant")  was organized as a Delaware limited partnership  on  May  5,
1992.   The offering of limited and general partner interests began  August
11,  1992  as part of a shelf offering registered under the name  Southwest
Developmental  Drilling Program 1991-92.  Minimum capital requirements  for
the Partnership were met on December 28, 1992, with the offering of limited
and  general  partner interests concluding December 31,  1992,  with  total
investor partner contributions of $1,407,000.  The Managing General Partner
made a contribution to the capital of the Partnership at the conclusion  of
the  offering  period  in  an  amount  equal  to  1%  of  its  net  capital
contributions.  The Managing General Partner contribution was $12,030.

The  Partnership was formed to engage primarily in the business of drilling
developmental  and exploratory wells, to produce and market crude  oil  and
natural  gas produced from such properties, to distribute any net  proceeds
from  operations  to the general and limited partners  and  to  the  extent
necessary,  acquire leases which contain drilling prospects.  Net  revenues
will  not  be  reinvested in other revenue producing assets except  to  the
extent  that  performance of remedial work is needed to  improve  a  well's
producing capabilities.  The economic life of the Partnership thus  depends
on  the  period  over  which the Partnership's oil  and  gas  reserves  are
economically recoverable.

Based on current conditions, management anticipates performing no workovers
to  enhance  production.  The partnership will most likely  experience  the
historical production decline of approximately 10% per year.

A.  General Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 1999

The  following  table  provides certain information  regarding  performance
factors for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999:

Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased to $371,824 from $249,636
for  the  years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, an increase
of  49%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    increased  during the year ended December 31, 2000 as compared  to  the
    year ended December 31, 1999 by 68%, or $11.99 per barrel, resulting in
    an   increase  of  approximately  $117,500  in  revenues.   Oil   sales
    represented  78%  of  total oil and gas sales  during  the  year  ended
    December 31, 2000 as compared to 77% during the year ended December 31,
    1999.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    increased during the same period by 69%, or $1.63 per mcf, resulting in
    an increase of approximately $32,900 in revenues.

    The  total  increase in revenues due to the change in  prices  received
    from  oil  and  gas production is approximately $150,400.   The  market
    price  for oil and gas has been extremely volatile over the past decade
    and  management expects a certain amount of volatility to  continue  in
    the foreseeable future.

<PAGE>

2.   Oil  production decreased approximately 970 barrels or 9%  during  the
   year ended December 31, 2000 as compared to the year ended December  31,
   1999, resulting in a decrease of approximately $17,200 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 4,470 mcf or 19% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $11,100 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately $28,300.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs and expenses increased to $154,913 from $137,198 for the years
ended  December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, an increase of  13%.   The
increase is the result of higher lease operating costs, partially offset by
a decrease in depletion expense and general and administrative expense.

1.    Lease  operating  costs  and production taxes  were  21%  higher,  or
   approximately $21,200 more during the year ended December  31,  2000  as
   compared  to  the year ended December 31, 1999.  The increase  in  lease
   operating costs and production taxes is due in part to an increase in major
   repairs and maintenance, such as overhead and electrical repairs on  two
   leases,  and in part to the rise in production taxes directly associated
   with the rise in oil and gas prices received during the past year.   The
   rise in oil and gas prices for 2000 has allowed the Partnership to perform
   these  repairs  and  maintenance in the hopes of increasing  production,
   thereby increasing revenues.

2.  General and administrative costs consist of independent accounting  and
    engineering  fees,  computer services, postage,  and  Managing  General
    Partner personnel costs. General and administrative costs decreased  8%
    or  approximately  $1,500 during the year ended December  31,  2000  as
    compared to the year ended December 31, 1999.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $15,000 for the year ended December  31,
    2000  from  $17,000  for the same period in 1999.   This  represents  a
    decrease  of 12%.  Depletion is calculated using the units  of  revenue
    method  of  amortization based on a percentage of current period  gross
    revenues  to  total future gross oil and gas revenues, as estimated  by
    the Partnership's independent petroleum consultants.

    The  major  factor  to  the decrease in depletion expense  between  the
    comparative periods was the increase in the price of oil and  gas  used
    to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 2001 as compared
    to  2000.   Revisions of previous estimates can be  attributed  to  the
    changes  in  production performance, oil and gas price  and  production
    costs.   The  impact  of  the revision would have  increased  depletion
    expense approximately $3,000 as of December 31, 1999.

B.  General Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998

The  following  table  provides certain information  regarding  performance
factors for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998:

                                                  Year Ended     Percentage

Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased to $249,636 from $200,761
for  the  years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, an increase
of  24%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    increased  during the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared  to  the
    year ended December 31, 1998 by 39%, or $4.99 per barrel, resulting  in
    an   increase  of  approximately  $58,400  in  revenues.    Oil   sales
    represented  77%  of  total oil and gas sales  during  the  year  ended
    December 31, 1999 as compared to 74% during the year ended December 31,
    1998.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    increased during the same period by 22%, or $.42 per mcf, resulting  in
    an increase of approximately $11,300 in revenues.

    The  total  increase in revenues due to the change in  prices  received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $69,700.  The market price
    for  oil  and gas has been extremely volatile over the past decade  and
    management  expects a certain amount of volatility to continue  in  the
    foreseeable future.

<PAGE>

2.   Oil  production decreased approximately 930 barrels or 8%  during  the
   year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to the year ended December  31,
   1998, resulting in a decrease of approximately $16,500 in revenues.

    Gas  production decreased approximately 1,860 mcf or 7% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $4,400 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately $20,900.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs and expenses decreased to $137,198 from $533,217 for the years
ended  December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, a decrease  of  74%.   The
decrease   is   the  result  of  lower  depletion  expense,   general   and
administrative expense, provision for impairment and lease operating costs.

2.    Lease  operating  costs  and production  taxes  were  10%  lower,  or
   approximately $11,900 less during the year ended December  31,  1999  as
   compared to the year ended December 31, 1998.

2.  General and administrative costs consist of independent accounting  and
    engineering  fees,  computer services, postage,  and  Managing  General
    Partner personnel costs. General and administrative costs decreased 28%
    or  approximately  $6,900 during the year ended December  31,  1999  as
    compared to the year ended December 31, 1998.  The decrease of  general
    and  administrative  costs  were due in part to  additional  accounting
    costs  incurred  in  1998  in relation to the outsourcing  of  K-1  tax
    package  preparation and a change in auditors requiring  opinions  from
    both  the  predecessors  and  successor  auditors.   Additionally,  the
    Managing  General  Partner in its effort to cut  back  on  general  and
    administrative costs whenever and wherever possible was able to  reduce
    the  cost  of  reserve reports and K-1 tax package  preparation  during
    1999.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $17,000 for the year ended December  31,
    1999  from  $80,000  for the same period in 1998.   This  represents  a
    decrease  of 79%.  Depletion is calculated using the units  of  revenue
    method  of  amortization based on a percentage of current period  gross
    revenues  to  total future gross oil and gas revenues, as estimated  by
    the Partnership's independent petroleum consultants.

    A  contributing factor to the decrease in depletion expense between the
    comparative periods was the increase in the price of oil and  gas  used
    to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 2000 as compared
    to  1999.   Another  contributing factor  was  due  to  the  impact  of
    revisions  of  previous estimates on reserves.  Revisions  of  previous
    estimates  can be attributed to the changes in production  performance,
    oil  and  gas  price and production costs.  The impact of the  revision
    would  have  decreased depletion expense approximately  $34,000  as  of
    December 31, 1998.

4.  The  Partnership  reduced the net capitalized  costs  of  oil  and  gas
    properties during 1998 by $314,240.  This provision for impairment  had
    the  effect  of reducing net income, but did not affect  cash  flow  or
    partner  distributions.  See Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
    - Oil and Gas Properties.

C.   Revenue and Distribution Comparison

Partnership net income (loss) for the years ended December 31,  2000,  1999
and  1998  was $217,640, $112,767 and $(331,847), respectively.   Excluding
the  effects of depreciation, depletion and amortization and provision  for
impairment,  net  income for the years ended December 31,  2000,  1999  and
1998,  would  have  been  $232,640,  $129,767  and  $62,393,  respectively.
Correspondingly, Partnership distributions for the years ended December 31,
2000,  1999  and  1998  were $224,640, $85,000 and  $92,200,  respectively.
These  differences  are indicative of the changes in oil  and  gas  prices,
production and property during 2000, 1999 and 1998.

The  sources  for  the  2000 distributions of $224,640  were  oil  and  gas
operations  of  approximately  $228,800 and  the  change  in  oil  and  gas
properties   of   approximately  $(75),  resulting  in  excess   cash   for
contingencies  or  subsequent distributions.   The  sources  for  the  1999
distributions  of  $85,000  were oil and gas  operations  of  approximately
$100,300  and the change in oil and gas properties of approximately  $(20),
resulting  in  excess  cash for contingencies or subsequent  distributions.
The  sources  for  the  1998  distributions of $92,200  were  oil  and  gas
operations  of  approximately  $90,900  and  the  change  in  oil  and  gas
properties of approximately $900, with the balance from available  cash  on
hand at the beginning of the period.

Total  distributions during the year ended December 31, 2000 were  $224,640
of  which $199,930 was distributed to the investor partners and $24,710  to
the  Managing  General  Partners.  The per unit  distribution  to  investor
partners  during  the same period was $142.10.  Total distributions  during
the  year  ended  December  31,  1999 were $85,000  of  which  $75,650  was
distributed  to  the investor partners and $9,350 to the  Managing  General
Partners.  The per unit distribution to investor partners during  the  same
period was $53.77.  Total distributions during the year ended December  31,
1998 were $92,200 of which $82,058 was distributed to the investor partners
and $10,142 to the Managing General Partners.  The per unit distribution to
investor partners during the same period was $58.32.

Since  inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash  distributions
of  $1,377,555  have been made to the partners.  As of December  31,  2000,
$1,226,400  or  $871.64 per investor partner unit, has been distributed  to
the   investor  partners,  representing  a  87%  return  of   the   capital
contributed.

<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  primary source of cash is from operations, the receipt of income  from
oil and gas properties.  The Partnership anticipates the primary source  of
cash to continue being from the oil and gas operations.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $228,800  in
2000  compared to $100,300 in 1999 and approximately $90,900 in 1998.   The
primary  source  of  the  2000  cash flow  from  operating  activities  was
profitable operations.

Cash  flows  (used in) provided by investing activities were  approximately
$(75) in 2000 compared to $(20) in 1999 and approximately $900 in 1998.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $224,600 in 2000
compared to $85,100 in 1999 approximately $92,200 in 1998.  The only use in
the 2000 financing activities was the distributions to partners.

As  of  December 31, 2000, the Partnership had $67,900 in working  capital.
The  Managing  General Partner knows of no unusual contractual  commitments
and believes the revenue generated from operations are adequate to meet the
needs of the Partnership.

     the  laws of the state of Delaware on May 5, 1992, for the purpose  of
     engaging  primarily  in  the  business of drilling  developmental  and
     exploratory  wells, to produce and market crude oil  and  natural  gas
     produced  from  such  properties, and  acquire  leases  which  contain
     drilling prospects.  The activities of the Partnership should continue
     for  a  term  of  50 years, unless terminated at an  earlier  date  as
     provided   for   in   the  Partnership  Agreement.   The   Partnership
     anticipates  selling  its  oil and gas  production  to  a  variety  of
     purchasers  with the prices it receives being dependent upon  the  oil
     and  gas  economy.  Southwest Royalties, Inc. serves as  the  Managing
     General  Partner.   Revenues,  costs and  expenses  are  allocated  as
     follows:

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Oil and Gas Properties
     Oil  and  gas properties are accounted for at cost under the full-cost
     method.   Under  this  method, all productive and nonproductive  costs
     incurred   in   connection  with  the  acquisition,  exploration   and
     development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized.  Gain or loss  on
     the   sale  of  oil  and  gas  properties  is  not  recognized  unless
     significant oil and gas reserves are involved.

     The  Partnership's policy for depreciation, depletion and amortization
     of  oil  and  gas  properties is computed under the units  of  revenue
     method.   Under  the units of revenue method, depreciation,  depletion
     and  amortization is computed on the basis of current  gross  revenues
     from production in relation to future gross revenues, based on current
     prices, from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves.

     Under  the  future gross revenue method, the Partnership computes  the
     provision  by multiplying the total unamortized cost of  oil  and  gas
     properties by an overall rate determined by dividing (a) oil  and  gas
     revenues during the period by (b) the total future gross oil  and  gas
     revenues  as  estimated  by  the Partnership's  independent  petroleum
     consultants.   It  is  reasonably possible  that  those  estimates  of
     anticipated  future  gross revenues, the remaining estimated  economic
     life  of  the product, or both could be changed significantly  in  the
     near  term  due to the potential fluctuation of oil and gas prices  or
     production.   The  depletion estimate would also be affected  by  this
     change.

     Should the net capitalized costs exceed the estimated present value of
     oil  and  gas reserves, discounted at 10%, such excess costs would  be
     charged to current expense. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, the  net
     capitalized  costs did not exceed the estimated present value  of  oil
     and  gas reserves.  As of December 31, 1998, the net capitalized  cost
     exceeded the estimated present value of oil and gas reserves  thus  an
     adjustment of $314,240 was made to the financial statement.

     Estimates and Uncertainties
     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.

     Syndication Costs
     Syndication  costs  are  accounted for as a reduction  of  partnership
     equity.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

     Environmental Costs
     The  Partnership  is  subject to extensive federal,  state  and  local
     environmental laws and regulations.  These laws, which are  constantly
     changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and
     may  require  the Partnership to remove or mitigate the  environmental
     effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances
     at   various  sites.   Environmental  expenditures  are  expensed   or
     capitalized  depending on their future economic benefit.  Costs  which
     improve a property as compared with the condition of the property when
     originally  constructed  or acquired and costs  which  prevent  future
     environmental contamination are capitalized.  Expenditures that relate
     to  an  existing condition caused by past operations and that have  no
     future  economic benefits are expensed.  Liabilities for  expenditures
     of  a  non-capital  nature are recorded when environmental  assessment
     and/or  remediation  is  probable, and the  costs  can  be  reasonably
     estimated.

     Gas Balancing
     The  Partnership utilizes the sales method of accounting for  over  or
     under  deliveries of gas.  Under this method, the Partnership  records
     revenues  based  on  the  payments it  has  received  for  sales  from
     purchasers.   As of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the  Partnership
     was not over or under produced.

     Income Taxes
     No  provision  for  income  taxes  is  reflected  in  these  financial
     statements, since the tax effects of the Partnership's income or  loss
     are passed through to the individual partners.

     In   accordance  with  the  requirements  of  Statement  of  Financial
     Accounting  Standards  No. 109, "Accounting  for  Income  Taxes,"  the
     Partnership's tax basis in its net oil and gas assets at December  31,
     2000  and 1999 was $194,608 and $190,321, respectively, less than that
     shown  on the accompanying Balance Sheets in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents
     For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Partnership considers
     all  highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
     months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Partnership maintains  its
     cash at one financial institution.

     Investor Partner Units
     As  of  December  31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, there were  1,407  investor
     units outstanding held by 103, 103 and 104 partners.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

     Concentrations of Credit Risk
     The  Partnership is subject to credit risk through trade  receivables.
     Although  a  substantial portion of its debtors'  ability  to  pay  is
     dependent upon the oil and gas industry, credit risk is minimized  due
     to  a  large customer base.  All partnership revenues are received  by
     the   Managing  General  Partner  and  subsequently  remitted  to  the
     partnership and all expenses are paid by the Managing General  Partner
     and subsequently reimbursed by the partnership.

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     The  carrying amount of cash and accounts receivable approximates fair
     value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

     Net Income (loss) per limited partnership unit
     The  net  income (loss) per limited partnership unit is calculated  by
     using the number of outstanding limited partnership units.

3.   Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
     The Managing General Partner has the right, but not the obligation, to
     purchase limited partnership units should an investor desire to  sell.
     The  value of the unit is determined by adding the sum of (1)  current
     assets  less liabilities and (2) the present value of the  future  net
     revenues attributable to proved reserves and by discounting the future
     net  revenues  at  a rate not in excess of the prime rate  charged  by
     Nations  Bank,  N.A. of Midland, Texas, plus one percent  (1%),  which
     value  shall be further reduced by a risk factor discount of  no  more
     than  one-third (1/3) to be determined by the Managing General Partner
     in its sole and absolute discretion.

3.   Commitments and Contingent Liabilities - continued
     The  Partnership  is  subject  to various  federal,  state  and  local
     environmental  laws  and  regulations, which establish  standards  and
     requirements  for  protection  of the  environment.   The  Partnership
     cannot  predict the future impact of such standards and  requirements,
     which  are  subject to change and can have retroactive  effectiveness.
     The  Partnership  continues to monitor the status of  these  laws  and
     regulations.

     As  of December 31, 2000, the Partnership has not been fined, cited or
     notified  of any environmental violations and management is not  aware
     of  any  unasserted  violations which would have  a  material  adverse
     effect upon capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position
     in the oil and gas industry.

     However,  the  Managing  General Partner does recognize  by  the  very
     nature  of its business, material costs could be incurred in the  near
     term  to  bring the Partnership into total compliance.  The amount  of
     such  future expenditures is not reliably determinable due to  several
     factors,  including the unknown magnitude of possible  contaminations,
     the  unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions which may  be
     required,   the  determination  of  the  Partnership's  liability   in
     proportion  to other responsible parties and the extent to which  such
     expenditures  are recoverable from insurance or indemnifications  from
     prior owners of Partnership's properties.

4.   Related Party Transactions
     A  significant  portion  of the oil and gas properties  in  which  the
     Partnership  has  an interest are operated by and purchased  from  the
     Managing General Partner.  As is usual in the industry and as provided
     for  in  the  operating  agreement for each  respective  oil  and  gas
     property  in  which the Partnership has an interest, the  operator  is
     paid  an  amount for administrative overhead attributable to operating
     such  properties,  with such amounts to Southwest Royalties,  Inc.  as
     operator  approximating $22,700, $22,400 and  $20,900  for  the  years
     ended  December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.   In  addition,
     the  Managing  General Partner and certain officers and employees  may
     have  an interest in some of the properties that the Partnership  also
     participates.

     Certain  subsidiaries  or affiliates of the Managing  General  Partner
     perform  various  oilfield  services  for  properties  in  which   the
     Partnership  owns an interest.  Such services aggregated approximately
     $3,700,  $2,900 and $100 for the years ended December 31,  2000,  1999
     and 1998, respectively, and the Managing General Partner believes that
     these  costs are comparable to similar charges paid by the Partnership
     to unrelated third parties.

     Southwest Royalties, Inc., the Managing General Partner, was  paid  an
     administrative  fee  of  $12,000  during  2000,  1999  and  1998   for
     reimbursement   of   indirect  general  and  administrative   overhead
     expenses.

4.   Related Party Transactions - continued
     In addition, a director and officer of the Managing General Partner is
     a  partner  in a law firm, with such firm providing legal services  to
     the  Partnership.  There were no legal services for December 31, 2000,
     1999 and 1998.

     Receivables  from  Southwest  Royalties, Inc.,  the  Managing  General
     Partner,  of  approximately $41,100 and $37,250 are from oil  and  gas
     production, net of lease operating costs and production taxes,  as  of
     December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

5.   Major Customers
     No  material portion of the Partnership's business is dependent  on  a
     single purchaser, or a very few purchaser, where the loss of one would
     have  a  material adverse impact on the Partnership.  Three purchasers
     accounted  for  94% of the Partnership's total oil and gas  production
     during  2000:  Plains Marketing LP for 63%, Navajo  Refining  Company,
     Inc.  for  16%  and  Duke Energy Transport for 15%.  Three  purchasers
     accounted  for  95% of the Partnership's total oil and gas  production
     during  1999: Scurlock Permian LLC for 59%, Duke Energy Transport  and
     Trad.  for  20%  and  Navajo Refining Company, Inc.  for  16%.   Three
     purchasers  accounted for 95% of the Partnership's total oil  and  gas
     production  during 1998: Scurlock Permian Corporation  for  59%,  Duke
     Energy  Transport and Trad. for 20% and Navajo Refining Company,  Inc.
     for 16%.    All purchasers of the Partnership's oil and gas production
     are  unrelated  third parties.  In the event this  purchaser  were  to
     discontinue  purchasing  the Partnership's  production,  the  Managing
     General  Partner  believes that a substitute purchaser  or  purchasers
     could  be  located without undue delay.  No other purchaser  accounted
     for  an amount equal to or greater than 10% of the Partnership's total
     oil and gas production.

     All  of  the Partnership's reserves are located within the continental
     United States.

     *Ryder  Scott  Petroleum Engineers prepared the  reserve  and  present
     value data for the Partnership's existing properties as of January  1,
     2001.   The  reserve estimates were made in accordance with guidelines
     established by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule
     4-10(a)  of  Regulation  S-X.  Such guidelines  require  oil  and  gas
     reserve  reports  be  prepared under existing economic  and  operating
     conditions with no provisions for price and cost escalation except  by
     contractual arrangements.

     The  New York Mercantile Exchange price at December 31, 2000 of $26.80
     was  used  as  the  beginning basis for  the  oil  price.   Oil  price
     adjustments  from  $26.80  per  barrel were  made  in  the  individual
     evaluations  to  reflect  oil  quality, gathering  and  transportation
     costs.   The  results are an average price received at  the  lease  of
     $26.17  per  barrel  in the preparation of the reserve  report  as  of
     January 1, 2001.

     In  the  determination  of  the gas price,  the  New  York  Mercantile
     Exchange price at December 31, 2000 of $9.78 was used as the beginning
     basis.   Gas  price adjustments from $9.78 per Mcf were  made  in  the
     individual   evaluations  to  reflect  BTU  content,   gathering   and
     transportation  costs and gas processing and shrinkage.   The  results
     are  an  average price received at the lease of $9.99 per Mcf  in  the
     preparation of the reserve report as of January 1, 2001.

6.   Estimated Oil and Gas Reserves (unaudited) - continued
     The  evaluation of oil and gas properties is not an exact science  and
     inevitably  involves a significant degree of uncertainty, particularly
     with respect to the quantity of oil or gas that any given property  is
     capable of producing.  Estimates of oil and gas reserves are based  on
     available  geological and engineering data the extent and  quality  of
     which may vary in each case and, in certain instances, may prove to be
     inaccurate.   Consequently, properties may be  depleted  more  rapidly
     than the geological and engineering data have indicated.

     Unanticipated  depletion, if it occurs, will result in lower  reserves
     than  previously estimated; thus an ultimately lower  return  for  the
     Partnership.  As new data is gathered during the subsequent year,  the
     engineer must revise his earlier estimates. A year of new information,
     which is pertinent to the estimation of future recoverable volumes, is
     available during the subsequent year evaluation.  In applying industry
     standards  and  procedures,  the  new  data  may  cause  the  previous
     estimates  to be revised.  This revision may increase or decrease  the
     earlier estimated volumes.  Pertinent information gathered during  the
     year  may include actual production and decline rates, production from
     offset  wells  drilled  to the same geologic formation,  increased  or
     decreased  water production, workovers, and changes in lifting  costs,
     among others.  Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from
     the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered.

     The  Partnership has reserves which are classified as proved developed
     producing.  All of the proved reserves are included in the engineering
     reports which evaluate the Partnership's present reserves.

Key Employees

Jon  P. Tate, Vice President, Land and Assistant Secretary, age 43, assumed
his  responsibilities with the Managing General Partner in 1989.  Prior  to
joining  the  Managing  General Partner, Mr.  Tate  was  employed  by  C.F.
Lawrence  & Associates, Inc., an independent oil and gas company,  as  Land

Landman's  Association and American Association of Petroleum Landmen.   Mr.

R.  Douglas  Keathley,  Vice President, Operations,  age  45,  assumed  his
responsibilities with the Managing General Partner as a Production Engineer
in  October,  1992.   Prior to joining the Managing  General  Partner,  Mr.
Keathley  was  employed for four (4) years by ARCO Oil  &  Gas  Company  as
senior  drilling  engineer working in all phases of well production  (1988-

In certain instances, the Managing General Partner will engage professional
petroleum   consultants   and  other  independent  contractors,   including
engineers   and   geologists  in  connection  with  property  acquisitions,
geological  and  geophysical  analysis,  and  reservoir  engineering.   The
Managing  General Partner believes that, in addition to its own  "in-house"
staff,  the utilization of such consultants and independent contractors  in
specific  instances  and  on  an  "as-needed"  basis  allows  for   greater
flexibility  and greater opportunity to perform its oil and gas  activities
more economically and effectively.

Item 11.  Executive Compensation

The  Partnership  does not have any directors or executive  officers.   The
executive officers of the Managing General Partner do not receive any  cash
compensation,  bonuses, deferred compensation or compensation  pursuant  to
any  type  of  plan,  from the Partnership.  The Managing  General  Partner
received  $12,000 during 2000, 1999 and 1998 as an administrative  fee  for
reimbursement of indirect general and administrative expenses.

Item 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

There  are  no  investor partners who own of record, or are  known  by  the
Managing General Partner to beneficially own, more than five percent of the
Partnership's investor partner interests.

The  Managing  General Partner owns an 11 percent interest  as  a  Managing
General Partner. Through prior purchases, the Managing General Partner also
owns  5  limited  partner  units,  or .4% limited  partner  interest.   The
Managing  General  Partner  total  percentage  interest  ownership  in  the
Partnership is 11.3%.

No  officer or director of the Managing General Partner owns Units  in  the
Partnership.   There  are  no arrangements known to  the  Managing  General
Partner which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of the
Partnership.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

In 2000, the Managing General Partner received $12,000 as an administrative
fee.   This  amount  is  part  of the general and  administrative  expenses
incurred by the Partnership.

In  some  instances the Managing General Partner and certain  officers  and
employees  may  be working interest owners in an oil and  gas  property  in
which  the Partnership also has a working interest.  Certain properties  in
which  the Partnership has an interest are operated by the Managing General
Partner,  who  was  paid approximately $22,700 for administrative  overhead
attributable to operating such properties during 2000.

Certain  subsidiaries or affiliates of the Managing General Partner perform
various  oilfield services for properties in which the Partnership owns  an
interest.   Such  services aggregated approximately $3,700 for  the  period
ended December 31, 2000.

In  the  opinion  of  management, the terms of the above  transactions  are
similar to ones with unaffiliated third parties.
