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.

Revenues

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased to $122,905 from $99,573 for
the quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of
23%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the quarters ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the
    quarter ended September 30, 1995 by 29%, or $4.56 per barrel, resulting
    in an increase of approximately $12,800 in revenues.  Oil sales
    represented 56% of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended
    September 30, 1996 as compared to 45% during the quarter ended September
    30, 1995.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 17%, or $.27 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $9,200 in revenues.  

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received from
    oil and gas production is approximately $22,000.  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 increased approximately 500 barrels or 18% during the
    quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended
    September 30, 1995, resulting in an increase of approximately $10,300 in
    revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 4,900 mcf or 14% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $9,200 in revenues.

    The net total increase in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $1,100.  The decrease in gas production is a result of
    property sales and surface problems.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses increased to $96,331 from $90,632 for the quarters
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of 6%.  The
increase is the result of higher lease operating costs, general and
administrative expense and depletion expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 5% higher, or
    approximately $2,500 more during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  

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 4%
    or approximately $200 during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as
    compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995.

3.  Depletion expense increased to $31,000 for the quarter ended September
    30, 1996 from $28,000 for the same period in 1995.  This represents an
    increase of 11%.  Depletion is calculated using the gross 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.  Consequently, depletion
    will generally fluctuate in direct relation to oil and gas revenues.  As
    noted above, oil and gas revenues increased due to an increase in price
    and production for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
    the same period for 1995.  Depletion reflected a comparable increase.

Revenues

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased to $385,125 from $339,232
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an
increase of 14%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

1.  The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
    increased during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
    the nine months ended September 30, 1995 by 16%, or $2.74 per barrel,
    resulting in an increase of approximately $26,300 in revenues.  Oil sales
    represented 50% of total oil and gas sales during the nine months ended
    September 30, 1996 as compared to 48% during the nine months ended
    September 30, 1995.

    The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased
    during the same period by 42%, or $.66 per mcf, resulting in an increase
    of approximately $74,800 in revenues.  

    The total increase in revenues due to the change in prices received from
    oil and gas production is approximately $101,100.  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 increased approximately 200 barrels or 2% during the nine
    months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended
    September 30, 1995, resulting in an increase of approximately $3,900 in
    revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 26,400 mcf or 23% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $58,600 in revenues.

    The net total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
    approximately $54,700.  The decrease in gas production is a result of
    property sales and surface problems.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses decreased to $294,013 from $294,744 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of less
than 1%.  The decrease is the result of lower lease operating costs, offset
by an increase in general and administrative expense and depletion expense.

1.  Lease operating costs and production taxes were 1% lower, or
    approximately $2,300 less during the nine months ended September 30, 1996
    as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  

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 2%
    or approximately $600 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as
    compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

3.  Depletion expense increased to $97,000 for the nine months ended
    September 30, 1996 from $96,000 for the same period in 1995.  This
    represents an increase of 1%.  Depletion is calculated using the gross
    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.  Consequently,
    depletion will generally fluctuate in direct relation to oil and gas
    revenues.  As noted above, oil and gas revenues increased due to a
    increase in price and production for the nine months ended September 30,
    1996 as compared to the same period for 1995.  Depletion reflected a
    comparable increase.

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 $183,700 in 
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately
$121,100 in the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The primary source of
the 1996 cash flow from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows provided by investing activities were approximately $40 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $127,000 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The principle source of the 1996
cash flow from investing activities was the sale of oil and gas properties,
offset by the additions to oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $202,500 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $187,900 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The only use in financing
activities was the distributions to partners.

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.  Total
distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were $187,809
of which $172,159 was distributed to the limited partners and $15,650 to the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $61.03.  

The sources for the 1996 distributions of $202,481 were oil and gas
operations of approximately $183,700 and the sale of oil and gas properties
of approximately $6,600, offset by additions to oil and gas properties of
approximately $6,500, with the balance from available cash on hand at the
beginning of the period.  The sources for the 1995 distributions of $187,809
were oil and gas operations of approximately $121,100 and the sale of oil and
gas properties of approximately $132,000, offset by additions to oil and gas
properties of approximately $4,900, resulting in excess cash for
contingencies or subsequent distributions.

Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$514,142 have been made to the partners.  As of September 30, 1996, $468,792
or $166.18 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited
partners, representing a 33% return of the capital contributed.

As of September 30, 1996, the Partnership had approximately $64,700 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.
