                                  Part I


Item 1.   Business

General
Southwest   Oil  &  Gas  Income  Fund  X-A,  L.P.  (the  "Partnership"   or
"Registrant")  was organized as a Delaware limited partnership  on  January
29, 1990.  The offering of limited partnership interests began May 11, 1990
as  part of a shelf offering registered under the name Southwest Oil &  Gas
1990-91  Income Program (the "Program").  Minimum capital requirements  for
the  Partnership were met on August 15, 1990, with the offering of  limited
partnership interests concluding on November 30, 1990.  The Partnership has
no subsidiaries.

The Partnership has acquired interests in producing oil and gas properties,
and  produced and marketed the crude oil and natural gas produced from such
properties.  In most cases, the Partnership purchased working interests  in
oil  and  gas properties.  The Partnership purchased either all or part  of
the rights and obligations under various oil and gas leases.

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  89  individuals,  together  with   certain
independent  consultants  used  on an "as needed"  basis,  perform  various
services on behalf of the Partnership, including the selection of  oil  and
gas properties and the marketing of production from such properties.  H. H.
Wommack,  III,  a  stockholder, director, President and  Treasurer  of  the
Managing  General Partner, is also a general partner.  The Partnership  has
no employees.

Principal Products, Marketing and Distribution
The  Partnership has acquired and holds working interests in  oil  and  gas
properties  located  in  New  Mexico and  Texas.   All  activities  of  the
Partnership are confined to the continental United States.  All oil and gas
produced  from these properties is 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>
For  nearly nine months, despite the fears of a global recession, crude oil
prices  held steady between $26 and $28 per barrel due in part to a  series
of  OPEC  and  non-OPEC production cuts.  Then, following what  has  become
known  simply  as  "9-11",  crude prices plunged  immediately  to  $22  and
gradually  fell  to below $18 per barrel.  Slower demand  across  the  U.S.
caused by the threat of recession and warmer than expected weather also led
to  declining prices in the latter half of 2001.  However, the  oil  cartel
and other non-member countries agreed for the fourth time since February to
curb  output in an effort to stabilize prices.  Crude oil contracts trading
on the NYMEX closed the year at approximately $20 per barrel.

Spot  prices in 2001 climbed to their highest levels ever, with the  yearly
average  price  nationwide reaching $4.14/MMBtu, up  9.77%  from  the  2000
average  of $3.77/MMBtu.  Prices reached their zenith in the first  quarter
of  2001 before beginning a steady decline throughout the remainder of  the
year.   The  terrorist  attacks  of  September  11  knocked  the  New  York
Mercantile Exchange out of the market for several days and shook  the  spot
marketplace into a maintenance mode.  As companies measured the  impact  of
the  attacks on the U.S. economy, spot prices deteriorated further.  In the
fourth  quarter,  prices  bottomed out for the year  with  the  three-month
average  falling to $2.31/MMBtu.  As for 2002, record-high  storage  levels
and  the  expectation of a flat economy through the first half of the  year
are  leading  industry  experts to predict prices to  average  $2.05/MMBtu,
remaining above the $2.00 per MMBtu level for a 5th consecutive year.

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

                                  Oil          Gas

                    2001          85%          15%
                    2000          85%          15%
                    1999          86%          14%

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 for 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
has  been able to sell all of its natural gas, either through contracts  in
place or on the spot market at the then prevailing spot market price.  As a
result,  the volumes sold by the Partnership have not fluctuated materially
with the change of season.

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
84%  of the Partnership's total oil and gas production during 2001:  Plains
Marketing  LP  for 52%, Navajo Refining Company for 22%, Duke Energy  Field
Services  for  10%.  Four purchasers accounted for 85% of the Partnership's
total  oil  and gas production during 2000:  Plains Marketing LP  for  27%,
Eaglewing  Trading  Inc.  for  23%, Navajo Refining  Company  for  22%  and
Phillips  66  for  13%.   Three  purchasers  accounted  for  73%   of   the
Partnership's  total oil and gas production during 1999:  Scurlock  Permian
Corporation for 27%, Navajo Refining Company for 26% and Eaglewing  Trading
Inc.  for  20%.  All purchasers of the Partnership's oil and gas production
are unrelated third parties.  In the event any of these purchasers were  to
discontinue  purchasing the Partnership's production, the Managing  General
Partner believes that a substitute purchaser or purchasers could be located
without  delay.   No other purchaser accounted for an amount  equal  to  or
greater than 10% of the Partnership's sales of oil and gas production.


<PAGE>
Competition
Because  the  Partnership has utilized all of its funds available  for  the
acquisition  of interests in producing oil and gas properties,  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.

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 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,
2001,  there were 89 individuals directly employed by the Managing  General
Partner in various capacities.

<PAGE>
Item 2.   Properties

In  determining whether an interest in a particular producing property  was
to  be  acquired, the Managing General Partner considered such criteria  as
estimated  oil  and  gas reserves, estimated cash flow  from  the  sale  of
production,  present  and  future prices of oil  and  gas,  the  extent  of
undeveloped  and  unproved reserves, the potential for secondary,  tertiary
and other enhanced recovery projects and the availability of markets.

As  of December 31, 2001, the Partnership possessed an interest in oil  and
gas  properties  located in Eddy and Lea Counties  of  New  Mexico,  Duval,
Hockley,  Midland,  Pecos,  Runnels and  Ward  Counties  of  Texas.   These
properties  consist  of various interests in approximately  162  wells  and
units.

Due  to  the  Partnership's  objective of  maintaining  current  operations
without engaging in the drilling of any developmental or exploratory wells,
or additional acquisitions of producing properties, there have not been any
significant changes in properties during 2001, 2000 and 1999.

There  were  no  property sales during 2001 and 2000.   During  1999,  nine
leases were sold for $42,770.

Significant Properties
The  following  table  reflects the significant  properties  in  which  the
Partnership has an interest:

*Per  the  terms of the purchase, the Partnership received production  runs
from a period prior to the date of purchase.

*Ryder  Scott  Petroleum Engineers prepared the reserve and  present  value
data for the Partnership's existing properties as of January 1, 2002.   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.

Oil  price  adjustments were made in the individual evaluations to  reflect
oil quality, gathering and transportation costs. The results of the reserve
report as of January 1, 2002 are an average price of $16.61 per barrel.

Gas  price  adjustments were made in the individual evaluations to  reflect
BTU  content,  gathering and transportation costs and  gas  processing  and
shrinkage. The results of the reserve report as of January 1, 2002  are  an
average price of $2.40 per Mcf.

<PAGE>
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 2001.

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.
Basic  changes in past reserve estimates occur annually.  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, proved developed non-producing and proved undeveloped.   All  of
the  proved reserves are included in the engineering reports which evaluate
the Partnership's present reserves.

Because  the  Partnership  does  not engage  in  drilling  activities,  the
development of proved undeveloped reserves in conducted pursuant  to  farm-
out  arrangements  with  the Managing General Partner  or  unrelated  third
parties.  Generally, the Partnership retains a carried interest such as  an
overriding royalty interest under the terms of a farm-out or receives cash.

The  Partnership or the owners of properties in which the Partnership  owns
an  interest  can  engage  in workover projects or  supplementary  recovery
projects, for example, to extract behind the pipe reserves which qualify as
proved developed non-producing reserves.  See Part II, Item 7, Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

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 2001 through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

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

Market Information
Limited  partnership interests, or units, in the Partnership were initially
offered and sold for a price of $500.  Limited partner units are not traded
on  any  exchange  and there is no public or organized trading  market  for
them.  The Managing General Partner has become aware of certain limited and
sporadic transfers of units between limited partners and third parties, but
has no verifiable information regarding the prices at which such units have
been  transferred.   Further,  a transferee may  not  become  a  substitute
limited 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 NationsBank, 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
2001,  15  limited  partner units were tendered to  and  purchased  by  the
Managing  General Partner at an average base price of $26.86 per unit.   In
2000,  32  limited  partner units were tendered to  and  purchased  by  the
Managing  General Partner at an average base price of $13.75 per unit.   In
1999,  17  limited  partner units were tendered to  and  purchased  by  the
Managing General Partner at an average base price of $22.57 per unit.

Number of Limited Partner Interest Holders
As of December 31, 2001, there were 569 holders of limited partner units in
the Partnership.

Distributions
Pursuant to Article III, Section 3.05 of the Partnership's Certificate  and
Agreement  of  Limited Partnership "Net Cash Flow" is  distributed  to  the
partners  on  a quarterly basis.  "Net Cash Flow" is defined as  "the  cash
generated  by  the  Partnership's investments  in  producing  oil  and  gas
properties,  less  (i)  General and Administrative  Costs,  (ii)  Operating
Costs,  and  (iii) any reserves necessary to meet current  and  anticipated
needs  of  the  Partnership, as determined in the sole  discretion  of  the
Managing General Partner."


<PAGE>
During  2001,  distributions  were  made  totaling  $60,000,  with  $54,000
distributed  to  the limited partners and $6,000 to the  general  partners.
For  the  year ended December 31, 2001, distributions of $5.15 per  limited
partner   unit   were  made,  based  upon  10,484  limited  partner   units
outstanding.   During  2000,  quarterly distributions  were  made  totaling
$74,026,  with $73,769 distributed to the limited partners.  For  the  year
ended  December 31, 2000, distributions of $7.04 per limited  partner  unit
were   made,   based   upon  10,484  limited  partner  units   outstanding.
Distributions for 2000 increased significantly due to the record  high  oil
and  gas  prices  received during the year.  There  were  no  distributions
during the year ended December 31, 1999.

Item 7.   Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition  and
          Results of Operations

General
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 any net proceeds from operations to  the
general  and  limited partners.  Net revenues from producing  oil  and  gas
properties are not reinvested in other revenue producing assets  except  to
the  extent  that  producing facilities and wells  are  reworked  or  where
methods are, employed to improve or enable more efficient recovery  of  oil
and gas reserves.  The economic life of the Partnership thus depends on the
period  over  which the Partnership's oil and gas reserves are economically
recoverable.

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  farm-out arrangements and on 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  limited
partners  is therefore expected to fluctuate in later years based on  these
factors.

Based on current conditions, management anticipates performing no workovers
during 2002 to enhance production.  The partnership will most likely
experience the historical production decline of approximately 7% per year.

Critical Accounting Policies
Full cost ceiling calculations The Partnership follows the full cost method
of  accounting  for  its  oil and gas properties.   The  full  cost  method
subjects  companies to quarterly calculations of a "ceiling", or limitation
on  the  amount of properties that can be capitalized on the balance sheet.
If  the  Partnership's capitalized costs are in excess  of  the  calculated
ceiling, the excess must be written off as an expense.

The  Partnership's discounted present value of its proved oil  and  natural
gas  reserves  is  a  major  component  of  the  ceiling  calculation,  and
represents  the  component  that requires the  most  subjective  judgments.
Estimates  of  reserves are forecasts based on engineering data,  projected
future  rates  of  production and the timing of future  expenditures.   The
process  of  estimating oil and natural gas reserves  requires  substantial
judgment,  resulting  in  imprecise determinations,  particularly  for  new
discoveries.   Different reserve engineers may make different estimates  of
reserve  quantities  based  on the same data.   The  Partnership's  reserve
estimates are prepared by outside consultants.

The  passage  of  time  provides  more  qualitative  information  regarding
estimates of reserves, and revisions are made to prior estimates to reflect
updated  information.   However,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  more
significant  revisions  will not be necessary in  the  future.   If  future
significant  revisions  are  necessary  that  reduce  previously  estimated
reserve quantities, it could result in a full cost property writedown.   In
addition to the impact of these estimates of proved reserves on calculation
of  the  ceiling,  estimates  of proved reserves  are  also  a  significant
component of the calculation of DD&A.

While  the quantities of proved reserves require substantial judgment,  the
associated prices of oil and natural gas reserves that are included in  the
discounted  present  value of the reserves do not  require  judgment.   The
ceiling calculation dictates that prices and costs in effect as of the last
day  of  the  period are generally held constant indefinitely. Because  the
ceiling  calculation dictates that prices in effect as of the last  day  of
the  applicable quarter are held constant indefinitely, the resulting value
is  not indicative of the true fair value of the reserves.  Oil and natural
gas  prices have historically been cyclical and, on any particular  day  at
the  end of a quarter, can be either substantially higher or lower than the
Partnership's  long-term price forecast that is a barometer for  true  fair
value.

<PAGE>
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.

A.  General Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2001 and 2000

The  following  table  provides certain information  regarding  performance
factors for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000:

                                                  Year Ended     Percentage

Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $346,699 from $447,179
for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, a decrease of
22%.   The  principal factors affecting the comparison of the  years  ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased  during the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared  to  the
    year ended December 31, 2000 by 21%, or $5.91 per barrel, resulting  in
    a  decrease of approximately $78,600 in revenues. Oil sales represented
    85%  of total oil and gas sales during the year ended December 31, 2001
    as compared to 85% during the year ended December 31, 2000.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    increased  during the same period by 7%, or $.30 per mcf, resulting  in
    an increase of approximately $3,300 in revenues.

    The net total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received
    from oil and gas production is approximately $75,300.  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.

<PAGE>
2.  Oil  production decreased approximately 200 barrels or  1%  during  the
    year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to the year ended December 31,
    2000, resulting in a decrease of approximately $5,600 in revenues.

    Gas production decreased approximately 4,600 mcf or 29% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $19,700 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately $25,300.  The decrease in gas production is in connection
    with a change in estimate, which was reflected in the fourth quarter of
    2001.   The  Partnership had a small interest in a well, which  it  was
    discovered  was not producing the larger portion of gas for the  lease,
    but  another well on the same lease was the major producer,  which  the
    Partnership owned a very small interest.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs and expenses increased to $338,003 from $321,784 for the years
ended  December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, an increase  of  5%.   The
increase  is  the  result  of  higher general and  administrative  expense,
depletion expense and lease operating costs.

1.    Lease  operating  costs  and production  taxes  were  5%  higher,  or
   approximately $10,700 more during the year ended December  31,  2001  as
   compared to the year ended December 31, 2000.

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  $1,500 during the year ended December  31,  2001  as
    compared to the year ended December 31, 2000.

3.  Depletion expense increased to $12,000 for the year ended December  31,
    2001  from  $8,000  for the same period in 2000.   This  represents  an
    increase  of 50%.  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 increase in depletion expense  between  the
    comparative periods was the decrease in the price of oil and  gas  used
    to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 2002 as compared
    to  2001,  and  the decrease in oil and gas revenues  received  by  the
    Partnership  during  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, 2000.

Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased to $447,179 from $273,357
for  the  years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, an increase
of  64%.  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 74%, or $11.97 per barrel, resulting in
    an   increase  of  approximately  $161,600  in  revenues.   Oil   sales
    represented  85%  of  total oil and gas sales  during  the  year  ended
    December 31, 2000 as compared to 86% 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 85%, or $1.97 per mcf, resulting in
    an increase of approximately $30,900 in revenues.

    The  total  increase in revenues due to the change in  prices  received
    from  oil  and  gas production is approximately $192,500.   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 1,050 barrels or 7% during  the
    year ended December 31, 2000 as compared to the year ended December 31,
    1999, resulting in a decrease of approximately $17,000 in revenues.

    Gas  production decreased approximately 730 mcf or 4% during  the  same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $1,700 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately $18,700.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs and expenses increased to $321,784 from $300,173 for the years
ended  December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, an increase  of  7%.   The
increase is the result of higher lease operating costs, partially offset by
a decrease in depletion expense and general and administrative expense.

2.    Lease  operating  costs  and production taxes  were  11%  higher,  or
   approximately $23,300 more during the year ended December  31,  2000  as
   compared to the year ended December 31, 1999.

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  $700  during the year ended  December  31,  2000  as
    compared to the year ended December 31, 1999.

3.  Depletion  expense decreased to $8,000 for the year ended December  31,
    2000  from  $9,000  for  the same period in 1999.   This  represents  a
    decrease  of 11%.  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 $1,000 as of December 31, 1999.

C.  Revenue and Distribution Comparison

Partnership income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2001,  2000  and
1999  was  $8,927,  $125,731  and $(26,816), respectively.   Excluding  the
effects  of  depreciation, depletion and amortization,  net  income  (loss)
would  have been $20,927 in 2001, $133,731 in 2000 and $(17,816)  in  1999.
Correspondingly, Partnership distributions for the years ended December 31,
2001,  2000  and 1999 were $60,000, $74,026 and none, respectively.   These
differences are indicative of the changes in oil and gas prices, production
and property sales.

The  sources  for  the  2001  distributions of $60,000  were  oil  and  gas
operations  of  approximately  $86,100  and  the  change  in  oil  and  gas
properties  of  approximately  $(20,900),  resulting  in  excess  cash  for
contingencies  or  subsequent distributions.   The  sources  for  the  2000
distributions  of  $74,026  were oil and gas  operations  of  approximately
$83,100  and the change in oil and gas properties of approximately  $6,300,
resulting  in  excess  cash for contingencies or subsequent  distributions.
There were no distributions for the year ending December 31, 1999.

Total distributions during the year ended December 31, 2001 were $60,000 of
which  $54,000  was distributed to the limited partners and $6,000  to  the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
same  period was $5.15. Total distributions during the year ended  December
31,  2000  were  $74,026 of which $73,769 was distributed  to  the  limited
partners.   The per unit distribution to limited partners during  the  same
period  was  $7.04.   There were no distributions during  the  year  ending
December 31, 1999.

Since  inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash  distributions
of  $2,827,732  have been made to the partners.  As of December  31,  2001,
$2,602,573 or $248.24 per limited partner unit, has been distributed to the
limited partners, representing a 50% return of the capital contributed.

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 (used in) operating activities were  approximately
$86,100 on 2001 compared to $83,100 in 2000 and approximately $(57,300)  in
1999.   The  primary source of the 2001 cash flow from operating activities
was for operations.

Cash  flows  (used in) provided by investing activities were  approximately
$(20,900)  in 2001 compared to $6,300 in 2000 and approximately $43,600  in
1999.   The  principal use of the 2001 cash flow from investing  activities
was the additions of oil and gas properties.

Cash  flows  provided by (used in) financing activities were  approximately
$(60,300) in 2001 compared to $(74,200) in 2000 and approximately  $260  in
1999.

As  of  December  31,  2001, the Partnership had approximately  $14,200  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.

Liquidity - Managing General Partner

The  Managing General Partner has a highly leveraged capital structure with
$50.0  million and $123.7 million of principal due in August  of  2003  and
October  of  2004, respectively.  The Managing General Partner  will  incur
approximately  $17.6  million in interest payments  in  2002  on  its  debt
obligations. Due to the depressed commodity prices experienced  during  the
last  quarter  of  2001,  the  Managing  General  Partner  is  experiencing
difficulty  in generating sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations  and
sustain its operations.  The Managing General Partner is currently  in  the
process  of  renegotiating the terms of its various  obligations  with  its
creditors  and/or  attempting  to seek new  lenders  or  equity  investors.
Additionally,  the  Managing General Partner would  consider  disposing  of
certain assets in order to meet its obligations.

There  can  be  no  assurance  that  the Managing  General  Partner's  debt
restructuring efforts will be successful or that the lenders will agree  to
a   course   of  action  consistent  with  the  Managing  General  Partners
requirements  in restructuring the obligations.  Even if such agreement  is
reached,  it  may  require approval of additional  lenders,  which  is  not
assured.   Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the sales of  assets
can  be  successfully  accomplished on terms  acceptable  to  the  Managing
General   Partner.   Under  current  circumstances,  the  Managing  General
Partner's  ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its  ability
to  (1)  successfully  restructure  its obligations  or  obtain  additional
financing  as  may  be  required, (2) maintain  compliance  with  all  debt
covenants, (3) generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations  on  a
timely  basis, and (4) achieve satisfactory levels of future earnings.   If
the  Managing  General Partner is unsuccessful in its efforts,  it  may  be
unable to meet its obligations making it necessary to undertake such  other
actions  as  may  be  appropriate  to  preserve  asset  values.   Upon  the
occurrence of any event of dissolution by the Managing General Partner, the
holders  of  a  majority of limited partnership interests may,  by  written
agreement,  elect  to  continue the business  of  the  Partnership  in  the
Partnership's   name,  with  Partnership  property,  in   a   reconstituted
partnership under the terms of the partnership agreement and to designate a
successor Managing General Partner.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In  June  1998,  the Financial Accounting Standards Board  ("FASB")  issued
Statement  of  Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.133,  "Accounting
for  Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities."   SFAS  No.  133,  as
amended by SFAS No. 138, establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative  instruments, including certain derivative instruments  embedded
in  other contracts and for hedging activities.  Assessment by the Managing
General  Partner  revealed this pronouncement to  have  no  impact  on  the
partnerships.

The  FASB  has  issued Statement No. 143 "Accounting for  Asset  Retirement
Obligations" which establishes requirements for the accounting of  removal-
type  costs  associated with asset retirements.  The standard is  effective
for  fiscal  years beginning after June 15, 2002, with earlier  application
encouraged.  The Managing General Partner is currently assessing the impact
on the partnerships financial statements.

On  October 3, 2001, the FASB issued Statements No. 144 "Accounting for the
Impairment   or   Disposal  of  Long-Lived  Assets."   This   pronouncement
supercedes FAS 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets  and
for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed" and eliminates the  requirement  of
Statement  121 to allocate goodwill to long-lived assets to be  tested  for
impairment.   The provisions of this statement are effective for  financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15,  2001,  and
interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Managing General Partner is
currently assessing the impact to the partnerships financial statements.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership):


We  have  audited the accompanying balance sheets of Southwest  Oil  &  Gas
Income Fund X-A, L.P. (the "Partnership") as of December 31, 2001 and 2000,
and  the related statements of operations, changes in partners' equity  and
cash  flows  for each of the years in the three year period ended  December
31,  2001.   These  financial  statements are  the  responsibility  of  the
Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is to express an  opinion  on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance auditing standards generally accepted
in  the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit  includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in  the  financial  statements.   An  audit  also  includes  assessing  the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well  as  evaluating  the  overall financial  statement  presentation.   We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in  all  material respects, the financial position of Southwest Oil  &  Gas
Income  Fund X-A, L.P. as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the results  of
its  operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three  year
period  ended  December  31, 2001 in conformity with accounting  principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

                      Notes to Financial Statements

1.   Organization
     Southwest  Oil and Gas Income Fund X-A, L.P. was organized  under  the
     laws of the state of Delaware on January 29, 1990, for the purpose  of
     acquiring  producing oil and gas properties and to produce and  market
     crude oil and natural gas produced from such properties for a term  of
     50  years, unless terminated at an earlier date as provided for in the
     Partnership  Agreement.   The  Partnership  sells  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 the Managing General Partner and H. H. Wommack,  III,  as
     the  individual  general partner.  Revenues, costs, and  expenses  are
     allocated as follows:

          (1)   All  organization costs in excess of 3% of initial  capital
          contributions  will be paid by the Managing General  Partner  and
          will  be treated as a capital contribution.  The Partnership paid
          the  Managing  General Partner an amount equal to 3%  of  initial
          capital contributions for such organization costs.

          (2)   Administrative costs in any year which exceed 2% of capital
          contributions shall be paid by the Managing General  Partner  and
          will be treated as a capital contribution.

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  units  of  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.

                      Notes to Financial Statements

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

     Oil and Gas Properties - continued
     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, 2001, 2000 and 1999 the
     net  capitalized costs did not exceed the estimated present  value  of
     oil and gas reserves.

     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. The Partnerships  depletion
     calculation and full-cost ceiling test for oil and gas properties uses
     oil and gas reserves estimates, which are inherently imprecise. Actual
     results could differ from those estimates.

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

     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  gas-
     balancing  arrangements.  Under this method the Partnership recognizes
     sales  revenue  on all gas sold.  As of December 31,  2001,  2000  and
     1999, there were no significant amounts of imbalance in terms of units
     and value.

     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 properties at  December
     31, 2001 and 2000 is $53,919 and $67,656, respectively, more 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.

     Number of Limited Partner Units
     As  of  December  31,  2001, 2000 and 1999 there were  10,484  limited
     partner units outstanding held by 569, 564 and 564 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.

     Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
     Statement   of   Financial  Accounting  Standards   ("SFAS")   No.133,
     "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."   SFAS
     No.  133,  as  amended  by  SFAS No. 138, establishes  accounting  and
     reporting  standards  for  derivative instruments,  including  certain
     derivative  instruments embedded in other contracts  and  for  hedging
     activities.  Assessment by the Managing General Partner revealed  this
     pronouncement to have no impact on the partnerships.

     The FASB has issued Statement No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement
     Obligations"  which  establishes requirements for  the  accounting  of
     removal-type costs associated with asset retirements.  The standard is
     effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with earlier
     application  encouraged.  The Managing General  Partner  is  currently
     assessing the impact on the partnerships financial statements.

     On October 3, 2001, the FASB issued Statements No. 144 "Accounting for
     the  Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."  This pronouncement
     supercedes FAS 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
     and   for  Long-Lived  Assets  to  Be  Disposed"  and  eliminates  the
     requirement of Statement 121 to allocate goodwill to long-lived assets
     to  be  tested  for impairment.  The provisions of this statement  are
     effective  for financial statements issued for fiscal years  beginning
     after  December  15,  2001, and interim periods  within  those  fiscal
     years.  The Managing General Partner is currently assessing the impact
     to the partnerships financial statements.

3.   Liquidity - Managing General Partner
     The  Managing General Partner has a highly leveraged capital structure
     with  $50.0 million and $123.7 million of principal due in  August  of
     2003  and October of 2004, respectively.  The Managing General Partner
     will incur approximately $17.6 million in interest payments in 2002 on
     its   debt   obligations.  Due  to  the  depressed  commodity   prices
     experienced  during  the last quarter of 2001,  the  Managing  General
     Partner is experiencing difficulty in generating sufficient cash  flow
     to  meet  its  obligations and sustain its operations.   The  Managing
     General Partner is currently in the process of renegotiating the terms
     of  its  various obligations with its creditors and/or  attempting  to
     seek  new  lenders  or equity investors.  Additionally,  the  Managing
     General Partner would consider disposing of certain assets in order to
     meet its obligations.

                      Notes to Financial Statements

3.   Liquidity - Managing General Partner - continued
     There  can  be  no assurance that the Managing General Partner's  debt
     restructuring  efforts  will be successful or that  the  lenders  will
     agree  to  a  course  of action consistent with the  Managing  General
     Partners requirements in restructuring the obligations.  Even if  such
     agreement  is reached, it may require approval of additional  lenders,
     which is not assured.  Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the
     sales  of  assets can be successfully accomplished on terms acceptable
     to  the  Managing  General Partner.  Under current circumstances,  the
     Managing  General  Partner's ability to continue as  a  going  concern
     depends   upon  its  ability  to  (1)  successfully  restructure   its
     obligations  or  obtain additional financing as may be  required,  (2)
     maintain  compliance with all debt covenants, (3) generate  sufficient
     cash  flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, and (4)  achieve
     satisfactory  levels  of  future earnings.  If  the  Managing  General
     Partner  is unsuccessful in its efforts, it may be unable to meet  its
     obligations making it necessary to undertake such other actions as may
     be  appropriate to preserve asset values.  Upon the occurrence of  any
     event of dissolution by the Managing General Partner, the holders of a
     majority  of limited partnership interests may, by written  agreement,
     elect to continue the business of the Partnership in the Partnership's
     name,  with Partnership property, in a reconstituted partnership under
     the  terms  of the partnership agreement and to designate a  successor
     Managing General Partner.

4.   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
     NationsBank, 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.

     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, 2001, 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.

5.   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 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  $39,800,
     $45,100  and $56,700 for the years ended December 31, 2001,  2000  and
     1999,  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.

5.   Related Party Transactions - continued
     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
     $15,300,  $12,800  and $3,200 for the years ended December  31,  2001,
     2000 and 1999, respectively.

     Southwest  Royalties,  Inc., the Managing General  Partner,  was  paid
     $78,000  during  2001,  2000 and 1999, as an administrative  fee,  for
     indirect general and administrative overhead expenses.

     (Payable)  Receivables  (to)  from  Southwest  Royalties,  Inc.,   the
     Managing  General Partner, of approximately $(6,800) and  $58,400  are
     from  oil  and  gas  production,  net of  lease  operating  costs  and
     production taxes, as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

     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 approximately $300, $100 and $200 for the years ended
     December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999.

6.   Major Customers
     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 84% of the Partnership's total oil  and  gas
     production  during  2001:  Plains Marketing for 52%,  Navajo  Refining
     Company  for  22%  and  Duke  Energy Field  Services  for  10%.   Four
     purchasers  accounted for 85% of the Partnership's total oil  and  gas
     production  during  2000:   Plains Marketing  LP  for  27%,  Eaglewing
     Trading Inc. for 23%, Navajo Refining Company for 22% and Phillips  66
     for  13%.   Three  purchasers accounted for 73% of  the  Partnership's
     total   oil   and  gas  production  during  1999:   Scurlock   Permian
     Corporation  for  27%, Navajo Refining Company for 26%  and  Eaglewing
     Trading Inc. for 20%.  All purchasers of the Partnership's oil and gas
     production  are unrelated third parties.  In the event  any  of  these
     purchasers   were   to   discontinue  purchasing   the   Partnership's
     production,  the Managing General Partner believes that  a  substitute
     purchaser  or  purchasers could be located without  delay.   No  other
     purchaser accounted for an amount equal to or greater than 10% of  the
     Partnership's sales of oil and gas production.

7.   Estimated Oil and Gas Reserves (unaudited)
     The  Partnership's  interest in proved oil  and  gas  reserves  is  as
     follows:

     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,
     2002.   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.

     Oil  price  adjustments  were made in the  individual  evaluations  to
     reflect  oil quality, gathering and transportation costs. The  results
     of  the  reserve report as of January 1, 2002 are an average price  of
     $16.61 per barrel.

     Gas  price  adjustments  were made in the  individual  evaluations  to
     reflect  BTU  content,  gathering and  transportation  costs  and  gas
     processing  and  shrinkage. The results of the reserve  report  as  of
     January 1, 2002 are an average price of $2.40 per Mcf.

     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.  Basic changes in past reserve estimates occur  annually.
     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, proved developed non-producing and proved undeveloped.  All
     of  the proved reserves are included in the engineering reports  which
     evaluate the Partnership's present reserves.

     Because  the  Partnership does not engage in drilling activities,  the
     development  of proved undeveloped reserves in conducted  pursuant  to
     farm-out  arrangements with the Managing General Partner or  unrelated
     third  parties.  Generally, the Partnership retains a carried interest
     such  as  an overriding royalty interest under the terms of a farm-out
     or receives cash.

Key Employees

Jon  P. Tate, Vice President, Land and Assistant Secretary, age 44, 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
Manager from 1981 through 1989.  Mr. Tate is a member of the Permian  Basin
Landman's  Association and American Association of Petroleum Landmen.   Mr.
Tate received his B.B.S. degree from Hardin-Simmons University.

R.  Douglas  Keathley,  Vice President, Operations,  age  46,  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-
1992),  eight  (8)  years by Reading & Bates Petroleum  Company  as  senior
petroleum  engineer responsible for drilling (1980-1988) and two (2)  years

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  Partners
received  $78,000  during 2001, 2000 and 1999 as an  annual  administrative
fee.

Item 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

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

The  Managing  General Partner owns a nine percent interest  as  a  general
partner.   Through prior purchases, the Managing General Partner also  owns
171.0  limited  partner  units, or a 1.63% limited partner  interest.   The
Managing  General  Partner  total  percentage  interest  ownership  in  the
Partnership is 10.5%.

No  officer or director of the Managing General Partner owns Units  in  the
Partnership.  H. H. Wommack, III, as the individual general partner of  the
Partnership,  owns  a  one  percent interest as  a  general  partner.   The
officers  and  directors  of the Managing General  Partner  are  considered
beneficial  owners of the limited partner units acquired  by  the  Managing
General  Partner by virtue of their status as such.  A list  of  beneficial
owners  of limited partner units, acquired by the Managing General Partner,

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

In 2001, the Managing General Partner received $78,000 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 $39,800 for administrative  overhead
attributable to operating such properties during 2001.

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 $15,300  for  the  year
ended December 31, 2001.

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