                                  Part I

Item 1.   Business

General
Southwest   Oil  &  Gas  Income  Fund  X-B,  L.P.  (the  "Partnership"   or
"Registrant") was organized as a Delaware limited partnership  on  November
27, 1990.  The offering of limited partnership interests began December  1,
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 March 1, 1991, with the offering of limited
partnership  interests concluding September 30, 1991.  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  92  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  Arkansas, Louisiana, 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>
The  year  2000 was a record year for crude oil prices.  The  world  energy
markets witnessed a continuation of the 1999 recovery seeing prices in  the
U.S.  peak at $37 per barrel in September.  Increasing demand and depleting
inventories appeared to be the motivators in crude's dramatic rise.  At the
beginning of 2000, U.S. crude oil inventories were approximately 16%  lower
than  at  the  beginning of 1999 and summer vacationers made it  through  a
travel  season  that  saw gasoline prices top $2 per gallon  in  some  U.S.
markets.  The lack of crude oil inventory in the U.S. was also magnified by
the  colder  than  normal  winter that much  of  the  country  experienced.
However,  several  production increases from OPEC  coupled  with  President
Clinton's  release  of 30 million barrels of oil from  the  U.S.  Strategic
Petroleum Reserve in September contributed to the slow in prices toward the
end  of the year.  After averaging $30 per barrel for the year and over $32
from August through November, oil prices closed out the year 2000 at $26.80
per barrel.

Tighter supplies, rising demand, and the return of more seasonal summer and
winter  weather  catapulted spot gas prices in 2000 to the  highest  levels
since  the market was deregulated in the mid-1980's.  Average monthly  spot
prices  rose  an astounding 72.9% over 1999 levels to average  $3.77/MMBTU.
The  climb in prices was fairly steady throughout the year, with the first-
quarter  spot prices averaging $2.44/MMBtu.  After the winter season  ended
with  a  huge  storage  deficit  of  306  BCF,  a  combination  of  factors
contributed  further  to the upward trend in spot prices.   As  the  summer
temperatures  heated  up  and  the  rate  of  storage  injections  remained
sluggish,  competition  for  gas  supplies  became  fierce  between   power
generators  and  gas utilities attempting to refill storage.   Spot  prices
really took off in the fourth quarter as competition for storage gas in the
waning days of the refill season became supercharged.  And then came  weeks
of  early  heating-season cold, which caused gas utilities to  scramble  to
meet  the  heating loads.  A year of record high prices was capped  off  in
December,  with spot prices averaging $6.14/MMBtu, more than two-and-a-half
times the previous five-year December average of $2.43/MMBtu.

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

                                  Oil          Gas

                    2000          83%          17%
                    1999          83%          17%
                    1998          79%          21%

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.

<PAGE>
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
79%  of the Partnership's total oil and gas production during 2000:  Teppco
Crude  Oil  LLC for 47%, Plains Marketing LP for 20% and Mobil  Corporation
for 12%.  Three purchasers accounted for 78% of the Partnership's total oil
and  gas  production during 1999:  Teppco Crude Oil LLC for  46%,  Scurlock
Permian  LLC  for  19%  and Mobil Corporation for  13%.   Three  purchasers
accounted for 56% of the Partnership's total oil and gas production  during
1998:   Mesa Pipe Line Company for 21%, Mobil Corporation for 19% and  Duke
Energy  Transport  & Trad. for 16%.    All purchasers of the  Partnership's
oil and gas production are unrelated third parties.  In the event either 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 undue delay.   No  other
purchaser  accounted  for an amount equal to or greater  than  10%  of  the
Partnership's sales of oil and gas production.

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.

<PAGE>
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,
2000,  there were 92 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, 2000, the Partnership possessed an interest in oil  and
gas properties located in Columbia County of Arkansas; Calcasieu Parish  of
Louisiana; Eddy and Lea Counties of New Mexico; and Ector, Duval,  Midland,
Panola,  Reeves,  Schleicher, Scurry, Ward and Winkler Counties  of  Texas.
These  properties consist of various interests in approximately  382  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 2000, 1999 and 1998

There  were  no  leases sold during 2000 and 1999.  During 1998,  fifty-two
leases were sold for approximately $151,100.

*Ryder  Scott  Petroleum Engineers prepared the reserve and  present  value
data for the Partnership's existing properties as of January 1, 2001.   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.

The  New York Mercantile Exchange price at December 31, 2000 of $26.80  was
used  as the beginning basis for the oil price.  Oil price adjustments from
$26.80  per  barrel were made in the individual evaluations to reflect  oil
quality,  gathering and transportation costs. The results  are  an  average
price received at the lease of $25.54 per barrel in the preparation of  the
reserve report as of January 1, 2001.

In  the  determination of the gas price, the New York  Mercantile  Exchange
price  at December 31, 2000 of $9.78 was used as the beginning basis.   Gas
price   adjustments  from  $9.78  per  Mcf  were  made  in  the  individual
evaluations to reflect BTU content, gathering and transportation costs  and
gas processing and shrinkage.  The results are an average price received at
the  lease of $9.75 per Mcf in the preparation of the reserve report as  of
January 1, 2001.


<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 2000.

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 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 is 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 2000 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
2000,  64  limited  partner units were tendered to  and  purchased  by  the
Managing  General Partner at an average base price of $52.28 per unit.   In
1999,  44  limited  partner units were tendered to  and  purchased  by  the
Managing  General Partner at an average base price of $72.57 per unit.   In
1998,  15  limited  partner units were tendered to  and  purchased  by  the
Managing General Partner at an average base price of $68.66 per unit.

Number of Limited Partner Interest Holders
As of December 31, 2000, there were 527 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  monthly 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  2000,  quarterly  distributions were made totaling  $406,644,  with
$365,980  distributed to the limited partners and $40,664  to  the  general
partners.   For the year ended December 31, 2000, distributions  of  $33.61
per limited partner unit were made, based upon 10,889 limited partner units
outstanding.   Distributions for 2000 increased significantly  due  to  the
record  high  oil  and gas prices received during the year.   During  1999,
distributions were made totaling $78,268, with $71,268 distributed  to  the
limited  partners and $7,000 to the general partners.  For the  year  ended
December  31,  1999, distributions of $6.54 per limited partner  unit  were
made,  based  upon 10,889 limited partner units outstanding.  During  1998,
distributions were made totaling $197,234, with $185,084 distributed to the
limited  partners and $12,150 to the general partners.  For the year  ended
December  31, 1998, distributions of $17.00 per limited partner  unit  were
made, based upon 10,889 limited partner units outstanding.

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  2001 or 2002 to enhance production.  Workovers may be performed  in
the years 2003 or 2004.  The partnership may have an increase in production
volumes  for the years 2003 and 2004, otherwise, the partnership will  most
likely experience the historical production decline of approximately 7% per
year.

Revenues

The  Partnership's  oil  and  gas revenues  increased  to  $1,150,000  from
$734,011  for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively,  an
increase  of  57%.  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 $12.00 per barrel, resulting in
    an   increase  of  approximately  $404,400  in  revenues.   Oil   sales
    represented  82%  of  total oil and gas sales  during  the  year  ended
    December 31, 2000 as compared to 83% 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 76%, or $1.71 per mcf, resulting in
    an increase of approximately $86,700 in revenues.

    The  total  increase in revenues due to the change in  prices  received
    from  oil  and  gas production is approximately $491,100.   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.

<PAGE>
2.  Oil  production decreased approximately 4,100 barrels or 11% during the
    year ended December 31, 2000 as compared to the year ended December 31,
    1999, resulting in a decrease of approximately $66,200 in revenues.

    Gas  production decreased approximately 3,970 mcf or 7% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $9,000 in revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately $75,200.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs and expenses increased to $658,633 from $591,548 for the years
ended  December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, an increase of  11%.   The
increase is the result of higher lease operating costs, partially offset by
a decrease in general and administrative costs and depletion expense.

1.    Lease  operating  costs  and production taxes  were  14%  higher,  or
   approximately $68,300 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
    less  than 1% or approximately $200 during the year ended December  31,
    2000 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1999.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $29,000 for the year ended December  31,
    2000  from  $30,000  for the same period in 1999.   This  represents  a
    decrease  of  3%.  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 $6,000 as of December 31, 1999.

Revenues

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased to $734,011 from $680,756
for  the  years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, an increase
of  8%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the years  ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    increased  during the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared  to  the
    year ended December 31, 1998 by 44%, or $4.90 per barrel, resulting  in
    an   increase  of  approximately  $234,200  in  revenues.   Oil   sales
    represented  83%  of  total oil and gas sales  during  the  year  ended
    December 31, 1999 as compared to 79% during the year ended December 31,
    1998.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    increased during the same period by 23%, or $.43 per mcf, resulting  in
    an increase of approximately $33,500 in revenues.

    The  total  increase in revenues due to the change in  prices  received
    from  oil  and  gas production is approximately $267,700.   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 10,000 barrels or 21% during the
    year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to the year ended December 31,
    1998, resulting in a decrease of approximately $161,500 in revenues.

    Gas  production  decreased approximately 23,330 mcf or 30%  during  the
    same  period,  resulting  in  a decrease of  approximately  $52,700  in
    revenues.

    The  total  decrease  in revenues due to the change  in  production  is
    approximately $214,200.  The decrease of oil and gas production was due
    primarily  to  property sales in 1998, downtime and  shut-in  of  wells
    uneconomical to operate.

Costs and Expenses

Total  costs  and  expenses decreased to $591,548 from $1,445,321  for  the
years  ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, a decrease  of  59%.
The  decrease  is  the  result of lower general and  administrative  costs,
depletion expense, provision for impairment and lease operating costs.

2.    Lease  operating  costs  and production  taxes  were  24%  lower,  or
   approximately $154,500 less during the year ended December 31,  1999  as
   compared  to  the year ended December 31, 1998.  The decrease  in  lease
   operating costs is primarily due to property sales and the shut-in of wells
   uneconomical to operate.

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
    16% or approximately $14,200 during the year ended December 31, 1999 as
    compared to the year ended December 31, 1998.  The decrease of  general
    and  administrative  costs  were due in part to  additional  accounting
    costs  incurred  in  1998  in relation to the outsourcing  of  K-1  tax
    package  preparation and a change in auditors requiring  opinions  from
    both  the  predecessors  and  successor  auditors.   Additionally,  the
    Managing  General  Partner in its effort to cut  back  on  general  and
    administrative costs whenever and wherever possible was able to  reduce
    the  cost  of  reserve reports and K-1 tax package  preparation  during
    1999.

3.  Depletion expense decreased to $30,000 for the year ended December  31,
    1999  from  $328,000 for the same period in 1998.   This  represents  a
    decrease  of 91%.  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.

    A  contributing 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, 2000 as compared
    to  1999.   Another  contributing factor  was  due  to  the  impact  of
    revisions  of  previous estimates on reserves.  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  decreased depletion expense approximately $209,000  as  of
    December 31, 1998.

3.  The  Partnership  reduced the net capitalized  costs  of  oil  and  gas
    properties during 1998 by $387,102.  This provision for impairment  had
    the  effect  of reducing net income, but did not affect  cash  flow  or
    partner  distributions.  See Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
    - Oil and Gas Properties.

C.  Revenue and Distribution Comparison

Partnership income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2000,  1999  and
1998  was  $496,120, $143,687 and $(762,994), respectively.  Excluding  the
effects  of  depreciation,  depletion and amortization  and  provision  for
impairment, net income (loss) would have been $525,120 in 2000, $173,687 in
1999 and $(47,892) in 1998.  Correspondingly, Partnership distributions for
the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $406,644, $78,268 and
$197,234, respectively.  These differences are indicative of the changes in
oil and gas prices, production and property sales.

The  source  for  the  2000  distributions of $406,644  were  oil  and  gas
operations  of  approximately  $493,500 and  the  change  in  oil  and  gas
properties  of  approximately  $(29,500),  resulting  in  excess  cash  for
contingencies  or  subsequent  distributions.   The  source  for  the  1999
distributions  of  $78,268  were oil and gas  operations  of  approximately
$74,300 and the change in oil and gas properties of approximately $(7,700),
with  the  balance  from available cash on hand at  the  beginning  of  the
period.  The source for the 1998 distributions of $197,234 were oil and gas
operations  of  approximately  $49,200  and  the  change  in  oil  and  gas
properties  of  approximately  $184,400,  resulting  in  excess  cash   for
contingencies or subsequent distributions.

Total  distributions during the year ended December 31, 2000 were  $406,644
of  which  $365,980 was distributed to the limited partners and $40,664  to
the general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during
the  same  period was $33.61.  Total distributions during  the  year  ended
December  31,  1999  were $78,268 of which $71,268 was distributed  to  the
limited  partners  and  $7,000  to  the general  partners.   The  per  unit
distribution  to limited partners during the same period was $6.54.   Total
distributions  during  the year ended December 31, 1998  were  $197,234  of
which  $185,084 was distributed to the limited partners and $12,150 to  the
general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
same period was $17.00.

Since  inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash  distributions
of  $5,050,939  have been made to the partners.  As of December  31,  2000,
$4,572,300 or $419.90 per limited partner unit, has been distributed to the
limited partners, representing a 84% return of the capital contributed.

<PAGE>
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 $493,500  in
2000  compared to $74,300 in 1999 and approximately $49,200 in  1998.   The
primary  source  of  the  2000  cash flow  from  operating  activities  was
profitable operations.

Cash  flows  provided by (used in) investing activities were  approximately
$(29,500)  in 2000 compared to $(7,700) in 1999 and approximately  $184,400
in 1998.  The principle use of the 2000 cash flow from investing activities
was additions to oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $406,700 in 2000
compared  to $78,300 in 1999 and approximately $197,300 in 1998.  The  only
use in the 2000 financing activities was the distributions to partners.

As  of  December  31,  2000 the Partnership had approximately  $245,200  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.

                        INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

The Partners
Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund X-B, L.P.
 (A Delaware Limited Partnership):


We  have  audited the accompanying balance sheets of Southwest  Oil  &  Gas
Income Fund X-B, L.P. (the "Partnership") as of December 31, 2000 and 1999,
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,  2000.   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 with 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

1.   Organization
     Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund X-B, L.P. was organized under the laws
     of  the  state  of Delaware on November 27, 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 as the Managing General Partner and H. H. Wommack, III, as
     the  individual  general partner.  Revenues, costs  and  expenses  are
     allocated as follows:

          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

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 production, 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.

     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, 2000 and 1999 the  net
     capitalized  costs did not exceed the estimated present value  of  oil
     and  gas reserves.  As of December 31, 1998, the net capitalized  cost
     exceeded the estimated present value of oil and gas reserves  thus  an
     adjustment of $387,102 was made to the financial statement.

     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.  Actual results could differ
     from those estimates.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

     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,  2000,  1999  and
     1998, 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,  2000  and 1999 is $288,582 and $428,221, respectively, more  than
     that  shown  on  the  accompanying Balance Sheets in  accordance  with
     generally accepted accounting principles.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

     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 per Limited Partner Units
     As  of  December  31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, there were  10,889  limited
     partner units outstanding held by 527, 528 and 531 partners.

     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.

3.   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, 2000, 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.

4.   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 is usual in the industry and 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 $158,900, $161,500 and $165,100 for the  years
     ended  December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, 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.

     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
     $7,600, $2,400 and $1,900 for the years ended December 31, 2000,  1999
     and 1998, respectively, and the Managing General Partner believes that
     these  costs are comparable to similar charges paid by the Partnership
     to unrelated third parties.

     Southwest  Royalties,  Inc., the Managing General  Partner,  was  paid
     $72,000  during  2000,  1999 and 1998, as an  administrative  fee  for
     reimbursement   of   indirect  general  and  administrative   overhead
     expenses.

     Receivables  from  Southwest  Royalties, Inc.,  the  Managing  General
     Partner, of approximately $152,600 and $120,900 are from oil  and  gas
     production, net of lease operating costs and production taxes,  as  of
     December 31, 2000 and 1999, 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.  There were no legal services provided for the  year
     ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.

5.   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 79% of the Partnership's total oil  and  gas
     production  during  2000:   Teppco  Crude  Oil  LLC  for  47%,  Plains
     Marketing  LP for 20% and Mobil Corporation for 12%.  Three purchasers
     accounted  for  78% of the Partnership's total oil and gas  production
     during  1999: Teppco Crude Oil for 46%, Scurlock Permian LLC  for  19%
     and Mobil Corporation for 13%.  Three purchasers accounted for 56%  of
     the  Partnership's total oil and gas production during 1998: Mesa Pipe
     Line  Company  for  21%, Mobil Corporation for  19%  and  Duke  Energy
     Transport  and  Trad. for 16%.    All purchasers of the  Partnership's
     oil  and  gas  production are unrelated third parties.  In  the  event
     either  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  undue
     delay.  No other purchaser accounted for an amount equal to or greater
     than 10% of the Partnership's sales of oil and gas production.

     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,
     2001.   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.

     The  New York Mercantile Exchange price at December 31, 2000 of $26.80
     was  used  as  the  beginning basis for  the  oil  price.   Oil  price
     adjustments  from  $26.80  per  barrel were  made  in  the  individual
     evaluations  to  reflect  oil  quality, gathering  and  transportation
     costs.   The  results are an average price received at  the  lease  of
     $25.54  per  barrel  in the preparation of the reserve  report  as  of
     January 1, 2001.

6.   Estimated Oil & Gas Reserves (unaudited) - continued
     In  the  determination  of  the gas price,  the  New  York  Mercantile
     Exchange price at December 31, 2000 of $9.78 was used as the beginning
     basis.   Gas  price adjustments from $9.78 per Mcf were  made  in  the
     individual   evaluations  to  reflect  BTU  content,   gathering   and
     transportation  costs and gas processing and shrinkage.   The  results
     are  an  average price received at the lease of $9.75 per Mcf  in  the
     preparation of the reserve report as of January 1, 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  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 is 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.

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

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

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

In 2000, the Managing General Partner received $72,000 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 $158,900 for administrative  overhead
attributable to operating such properties during 2000.

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 $7,600 for the year ended
December 31, 2000.

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