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.

for  the  quarters  ended  September 30, 1997  and  1996,  respectively,  a
decrease  of  21%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison  of  the
quarters ended September 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 September 30, 1997 as  compared  to
    the  quarter  ended  September 30, 1996 by 13%, or  $2.63  per  barrel,
    resulting in a decrease of approximately $8,700 in revenues.  Oil sales
    represented  50%  of total oil and gas sales during the  quarter  ended
    September  30,  1997  as  compared to  56%  during  the  quarter  ended
    September 30, 1996.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    increased  during the same period by 7%, or $.13 per mcf, resulting  in
    an increase of approximately $3,800 in revenues.

    The net total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received
    from  oil and gas production is approximately $4,900.  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 600 barrels or 18% during the 
    quarter ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended 
    September 30, 1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $10,700 in 
    revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 4,900 mcf or 17% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $9,800 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately  $20,500.   The  decrease is  primarily  attributable  to
    downtime caused by mechanical problems.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs  and  expenses  increased to $100,302  from  $96,331  for  the
quarters  ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, an  increase  of
4%.   The increase is the result of higher lease operating costs, partially
offset  by  a decrease in general and administrative expense and  depletion
expense.

1.    Lease  operating  costs  and production taxes  were  28%  higher,  or
   approximately $16,200 more during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as
   compared  to  the  quarter ended September 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
    3% or approximately $200 during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as
    compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1996.

3.  Depletion  expense decreased to $19,000 for the quarter ended September
    30,  1997 from $31,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represents  a
    decrease  of 39%.  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 increase in the price of oil used to  determine  the
    Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared to 1996 and  the
    decline in gross oil and gas revenues.

Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $315,290 from $385,125
for  the  nine  months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  a
decrease  of  18%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison  of  the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased  during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as  compared
    to  the nine months ended September 30, 1996 by 1%, or $.24 per barrel,
    resulting in a decrease of approximately $2,400 in revenues.  Oil sales
    represented 50% of total oil and gas sales during the nine months ended
    September 30, 1997 and 1996.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased during the same period by 2%, or $.05 per mcf, resulting in a
    decrease of approximately $4,400 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease in revenues due to the change in  prices  received
    from  oil and gas production is approximately $6,800.  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 1,700 barrels or 17% during the
   nine  months  ended September 30, 1997 as compared to  the  nine  months
   ended  September  30,  1996,  resulting in a decrease  of  approximately
   $33,000 in revenues.

    Gas  production  decreased approximately 14,000 mcf or 16%  during  the
    same  period,  resulting  in  a decrease of  approximately  $30,400  in
    revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately  $63,400.   The  decrease is  primarily  attributable  to
    property sales and downtime caused by mechanical problems.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs and expenses decreased to $278,905 from $294,013 for the  nine
months  ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of  5%.
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  13%  higher,  or
    approximately  $21,400 more during the nine months ended September  30,
    1997  as  compared to the nine months ended September  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 2%
    or  approximately $500 during the nine months ended September 30,  1997
    as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

3.  Depletion  expense  decreased to $61,000  for  the  nine  months  ended
    September  30,  1997 from $97,000 for the same period  in  1996.   This
    represents a decrease of 37%.  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 increase in the price  of  oil  used  to
    determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared to
    1996 and the decline in gross oil and gas revenues.

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 $153,400  in
the  nine  months  ended  September 30, 1997 as compared  to  approximately
$183,700  in the nine months ended September 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
($7,000)  in  the  nine  months ended September 30,  1997  as  compared  to
approximately  $40  in  the  nine months ended  September  30,  1996.   The
principle  use  of  the 1997 cash flow from investing  activities  was  the
change in oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $141,400 in  the
nine  months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to approximately $202,500
in  the  nine  months ended September 30, 1996.  The only use in  financing
activities was the distributions to partners.

Total  distributions during the nine months ended September 30,  1997  were
$141,500  of  which  $127,350 was distributed to the limited  partners  and
$14,150  to  the  general partners.  The per unit distribution  to  limited
partners during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $45.14.  Total
distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $202,481
of  which  $182,481 was distributed to the limited partners and $20,000  to
the general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $64.69.

The  source  for  the  1997  distributions of  $141,500  was  oil  and  gas
operations of approximately $153,400, partially offset by a change  in  oil
and  gas  properties of approximately $7,000, resulting in excess cash  for
contingencies  or  subsequent distributions.   The  sources  for  the  1996
distributions  of  $202,481  were oil and gas operations  of  approximately
$183,700  and  the  change in oil and gas properties of approximately  $40,
with  the  balance  from available cash on hand at  the  beginning  of  the
period.

Since  inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash  distributions
of  $725,642  have  been made to the partners.  As of September  30,  1997,
$659,142  or $233.66 per limited partner unit has been distributed  to  the
limited partners, representing a 47% return of the capital contributed.

As  of  September  30, 1997, the Partnership had approximately  $29,600  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.
