Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations

General

Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund XI-A, L.P. was organized as a Delaware
limited partnership on May 5, 1992.  The offering of such limited partnership
interests began August 20, 1992 as part of a shelf offering registered under
the name Southwest Oil & Gas 1992-93 Income Program.  Minimum capital
requirements for the Partnership were met on March 17, 1993, with the
offering of limited partnership interests concluding April 30, 1993.  At the
conclusion of the offering of limited partnership interests, 122 limited
partners had purchased 2,821 units for $1,410,500.

The Partnership was formed to acquire interests in producing oil and gas
properties, to produce and market crude oil and natural gas produced from
such properties, and to distribute the net proceeds from operations to the
limited and general partners.  Net revenues from producing oil and gas
properties will not be reinvested in other revenue producing assets except to
the extent that production facilities and wells are improved or reworked or
where methods are employed to improve or enable more efficient recovery of
oil and gas reserves.

Increases or decreases in Partnership revenues and, therefore, distributions
to partners will depend primarily on changes in the prices received for
production, changes in volumes of production sold, lease operating expenses,
enhanced recovery projects, offset drilling activities pursuant to farmout
arrangements, sales of properties, and the depletion of wells.  Since wells
deplete over time, production can generally be expected to decline from year
to year.

Well operating costs and general and administrative costs usually decrease
with production declines; however, these costs may not decrease
proportionately.  Net income available for distribution to the partners is
therefore expected to fluctuate in later years based on these factors.

Based on current conditions, management anticipates performing workovers
during 1997 to enhance production.  The Partnership could possibly experience
the following changes; a little less than normal decline in 1997, with no
decline in 1998 and thereafter, experience a steady decline.

Revenues

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $68,311 from $78,765 for
the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 13%. 
The principal factors affecting the comparison of the quarters ended March
31, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the
    quarter ended March 31, 1996 by 21%, or $3.88 per barrel, resulting in an
    increase of approximately $13,200 in revenues.  Oil sales represented 50%
    of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as
    compared to 46% during the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 25%, or $.52 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $18,000 in revenues.  

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received from
    oil and gas production is approximately $31,200.  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.

2.  Oil production decreased approximately 700 barrels or 21% during the
    quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
    1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $15,500 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 11,400 mcf or 33% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $29,600 in revenues.

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $45,100.  The decrease is primarily attributable to
    property sales.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $89,636 from $101,681 for the quarters
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 12%.  The decrease
is the result of lower lease operating costs and depletion expense, partially
offset by an increase in general and administrative expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 6% lower, or
    approximately $3,500 less during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

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 increased 3%
    or approximately $400 during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared
    to the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $23,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
    1997 from $32,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represents a
    decrease of 28%.  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.  Contributing factors to
    the decline in depletion expense between the comparative periods were the
    decrease in oil and gas revenue and the increase in the price of oil used
    to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared
    to 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary source of cash is from operations, the receipt of income from
interests in oil and gas properties.  The Partnership knows of no material
change, nor does it anticipate any such change.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $86,400 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to approximately $55,400 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.  The primary source of the 1997 cash flow from
operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $1,800 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to approximately $600 in the quarter
ended March 31, 1996.  The principle use of the 1997 cash flow from investing
activities was the additions of oil and gas properties, partially offset by
the sale to oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were $68,000 in the quarter ended
March 31, 1997 as compared to $71,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996. 
The only use in financing activities was the distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 were $68,000 of
which $61,200 was distributed to the limited partners and $6,800 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $21.69.  Total distributions during the
quarter ended March 31, 1996 were $71,000 of which $63,900 was distributed to
the limited partners and $7,100 to the general partners.  The per unit
distribution to limited partners during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 was
$22.65.  

The sources for the 1997 distributions of $68,000 were oil and gas operations
of approximately $86,400 and the sale of oil and gas properties of
approximately $100, partially offset by the additions to oil and gas
properties of approximately $1,900, resulting in excess cash for
contingencies or subsequent distributions.  The source for the 1996
distributions of $71,000 was oil and gas operations of approximately $55,400,
partially offset by the additions to oil and gas properties of approximately
$600, with the balance from available cash on hand at the beginning of the
period.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$652,142 have been made to the partners.  As of March 31, 1997, $592,992 or
$210.21 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited
partners, representing a 42% return of the capital contributed.

As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership had approximately $60,400 in working
capital.  The Managing General Partner knows of no unusual contractual
commitments and believes the revenues generated from operations are adequate
to meet the needs of the Partnership.
