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 $98,419 from $128,283 for
the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 23%. 
The principal factors affecting the comparison of the quarters ended June 30,
1997 and 1996 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    decreased during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the
    quarter ended June 30, 1996 by 7%, or $1.36 per barrel, resulting in a
    decrease of approximately $4,200 in revenues.  Oil sales represented 50%
    of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 as
    compared to 49% during the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership decreased
    during the same period by 12%, or $.28 per mcf, resulting in a decrease
    of approximately $8,100 in revenues.  

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received from
    oil and gas production is approximately $12,300.  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 500 barrels or 16% during the
    quarter ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended June 30,
    1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $9,500 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 4,400 mcf or 15% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $8,800 in revenues.

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $18,300.  The decrease is primarily attributable to
    downtime caused by mechanical problems.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $88,966 from $96,001 for the quarters
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 7%.  The decrease
is the result of lower general and administrative expense and depletion
expense, partially offset by an increase in lease operating costs.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 16% higher, or
    approximately $8,700 more during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 as
    compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  The increase is primarily
    attributable to the pulling expense incurred on an injector well during
    1997.

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 10%
    or approximately $700 during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 as compared
    to the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $19,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
    1997 from $34,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represents a
    decrease of 44%.  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 revenues and the increase in the price of oil
    used to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as
    compared to 1996.

Revenues

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $218,425 from $262,220
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of
17%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the
    six months ended June 30, 1996 by 5%, or $.96 per barrel, resulting in an
    increase of approximately $6,200 in revenues.  Oil sales represented 50%
    of total oil and gas sales during the six months ended June 30, 1997 as
    compared to 47% during the six months ended June 30, 1996.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership decreased
    during the same period by 3%, or $.06 per mcf, resulting in a decrease of
    approximately $3,600 in revenues.  

    The net total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $2,600.  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 1,100 barrels or 17% during the
    six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the six months ended June
    30, 1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $22,200 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 11,200 mcf or 19% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $25,100 in revenues.

    The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $47,300.  The decrease is primarily attributable to
    property sales and downtime caused by mechanical problems.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $178,605 from $197,682 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 10%.  The
decrease is the result of lower general and administrative expense and
depletion expense, partially offset by an increase in lease operating costs.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 5% higher, or
    approximately $5,200 more during the six months ended June 30, 1997 as
    compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase is
    primarily attributable to the pulling expense incurred on an injector
    well during 1997.

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 1%
    or approximately $300 during the six months ended June 30, 1997 as
    compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $42,000 for the six months ended June 30,
    1997 from $66,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represents a
    decrease of 36%.  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 revenues 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 $123,900 in
the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to approximately $115,600 in
the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The primary source of the 1997 cash flow
from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows provided by or (used in) investing activities were approximately
$(4,200) in the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to approximately
$2,900 in the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The principle use of the 1997
cash flow from investing activities was the additions to oil and gas
properties, partially offset by the sale of oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $118,000 in the
six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to approximately $141,500 in the
six months ended June 30, 1996.  The only use in financing activities was the
distributions to partners.

Total distributions during the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $118,000
of which $106,200 was distributed to the limited partners and $11,800 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
six months ended June 30, 1997 was $37.65.  Total distributions during the
six months ended June 30, 1996 were $141,481 of which $127,581 was
distributed to the limited partners and $13,900 to the general partners.  The
per unit distribution to limited partners during the six months ended June
30, 1996 was $45.23.  

The source for the 1997 distributions of $118,000 was oil and gas operations
of approximately $123,900, partially offset by the net change in oil and gas
properties of approximately $4,200, resulting in excess cash for
contingencies or subsequent distributions.  The sources for the 1996
distributions of $141,481 were oil and gas operations of approximately
$115,600 and the net change in oil and gas properties of approximately
$2,900, with the balance from available cash on hand at the beginning of the
period. 

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$702,142 have been made to the partners.  As of June 30, 1997, $637,992 or
$226.16 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited
partners, representing a 45% return of the capital contributed.

As of June 30, 1997, the Partnership had approximately $38,500 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.
