ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
The Dyco Oil and Gas Program 1983-1 Limited Partnership (the "Program") is a Minnesota limited partnership engaged in the production of oil and gas. The Program commenced operations on July 1, 1983 with the primary financial objective of investing its limited partners' subscriptions in the drilling of oil and gas prospects and then distributing to its limited partners all available cash flow from the Program's on-going production operations. Dyco Petroleum Corporation ("Dyco") serves as the General Partner of the Program. See "Item 2.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Well Statistics
The following table sets forth the numbers of gross and net productive wells of the Program as of December 31, 1996.
Well Statistics(1) As of December 31, 1996
Gross productive wells(2): Oil 1 Gas 21 -- Total 22
Net productive wells(3): Oil .08 Gas 2.96 ---- Total 3.04 - ---------- (1) The designation of a well as an oil well or gas well is made by Dyco based on the relative amount of oil and gas reserves for the well. Regardless of a well's oil or gas designation, it may produce oil, gas, or both oil and gas. (2) As used throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Annual Report"), "Gross Well" refers to a well in which a working interest is owned. The number of gross wells is the total number of wells in which a working interest is owned. (3) As used throughout this Annual Report, "Net Well" refers to the sum of the fractional working interests owned in gross wells expressed as whole numbers and fractions thereof. For example, a 15% leasehold interest in a well represents one Gross Well, but 0.15 Net Well.
Drilling Activities
The Program participated in no drilling activities for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Oil and Gas Production, Revenue, and Price History
The following table sets forth certain historical information concerning the oil (including condensates) and gas production, net of all royalties, overriding royalties, and other third party interests, of the Program, revenues attributable to such production, and certain price and cost information.

- ----------
(1) As used throughout this Annual Report, "Bbls" refers to barrels of 42 U.S. gallons and represents the basic unit for measuring the production of crude oil and condensate oil. (2) As used throughout this Annual Report, "Mcf" refers to volume of 1,000 cubic feet under prescribed conditions of pressure and temperature and represents the basic unit for measuring the production of gas. (3) Reflects a positive adjustment of $382,974 (260,410 Mcf) for oil and gas sales made by an operator related to sales in a prior year. (4) Oil production is converted to gas equivalents at the rate of six Mcf per barrel, representing the estimated relative energy content of gas and oil, which rate is not necessarily indicative of the relationship of oil and gas prices. The respective prices of oil and gas are affected by market and other factors in addition to relative energy content.
Proved Reserves and Net Present Value
The following table sets forth the Program's estimated proved oil and gas reserves and net present value therefrom as of December 31, 1996. The schedule of quantities of proved oil and gas reserves was prepared by Dyco in accordance with the rules prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). As used throughout this Annual Report, "proved reserves" refers to those estimated quantities of crude oil, gas, and gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known oil and gas reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.
Net present value represents estimated future gross cash flow from the production and sale of proved reserves, net of estimated oil and gas production costs (including production taxes, ad valorem taxes, and operating expenses), and estimated future development costs, discounted at 10% per annum. Net present value attributable to the Program's proved reserves was calculated on the basis of current costs and prices at December 31, 1996. Such prices were not escalated except in certain circumstances where escalations were fixed and readily determinable in accordance with applicable contract provisions. The prices used by Dyco in calculating the net present value attributable to the Program's proved reserves do not necessarily reflect market prices for oil and gas production subsequent to December 31, 1996. Furthermore, gas prices at December 31, 1996 were much higher than the price used for determining the Program's net present value of proved reserves for the year ended December 31, 1995 and substantially higher than average prices received in each of the last several years. There can be no assurance that the prices used in calculating the net present value of the Program's proved reserves at December 31, 1996 will actually be realized for such production.
The process of estimating oil and gas reserves is complex, requiring significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of available geological, engineering, and economic data for each reservoir. The data for a given reservoir may change substantially over time as a result of, among other things, additional development activity, production history, and viability of production under varying economic conditions; consequently, it is reasonably possible that material revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur in the near future. Although every reasonable effort has been made to ensure that the reserve estimates reported herein represent the most accurate assessment possible, the significance of the subjective decisions required and variances in available data for various reservoirs make these estimates generally less precise than other estimates presented in connection with financial statement disclosures.
Proved Reserves and Net Present Value From Proved Reserves
As of December 31, 1996
Estimated proved reserves: Gas (Mcf) 1,524,633 Oil and liquids (Bbls) 4,547
Net present value (discounted at 10% per annum) $2,675,866
No estimates of the proved reserves of the Program comparable to those included herein have been included in reports to any federal agency other than the SEC. Additional information relating to the Program's proved reserves is contained in Note 4 to the Program's financial statements, included in Item 8 of this Annual Report.
Significant Properties
As of December 31, 1996, the Program's properties consisted of 22 gross (3.04 net) productive wells. The Program also owned a non- working interest in an additional 2 wells. Affiliates of the Program operate 16 (67%) of its total wells. As of December 31, 1996, the Program had estimated total proved reserves of 1,524,633 Mcf of gas and 4,547 barrels of oil, with a present value (discounted at 10% per annum) of estimated future net cash flow of $2,675,866. Substantially all of the Program's reserves are located in the Anadarko Basin of western Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle, which is an established oil and gas producing basin. All of the Program's properties are located onshore in the continental United States.
As of December 31, 1996, the Program's properties in the Anadarko Basin consisted of 21 gross (2.71 net) wells. The Program also owned a non-working interest in an additional 2 wells. Affiliates of the Program operate 15 (65%) of its total Anadarko Basin wells. As of December 31, 1996, the Program had estimated total proved reserves in the Anadarko Basin of approximately 1,437,342 Mcf of gas and approximately 4,547 barrels of crude oil, with a present value (discounted at 10% per annum) of estimated future net cash flow of approximately $2,525,850.
Title to Oil and Gas Properties
Management believes that the Program has satisfactory title to its oil and gas properties. Record title to substantially all of the Program's properties is held by Dyco as nominee.
Title to the Program's properties is subject to customary royalty, overriding royalty, carried, working, and other similar interests and contractual arrangements customary in the oil and gas industry, to liens for current taxes not yet due, and to other encumbrances. Management believes that such burdens do not materially detract from the value of such properties or from the Program's interest therein or materially interfere with their use in the operation of the Program's business.

PART II
ITEM 5.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS AND RELATED LIMITED PARTNER MATTERS
The Program does not have an established trading market for its units of limited partnership interest ("Units"). Pursuant to the terms of the Program Agreement, Dyco, as General Partner, is obligated to annually issue a repurchase offer which is based on the estimated future net revenues from the Program's reserves and is calculated pursuant to the terms of the Program Agreement. Such repurchase offer is recalculated monthly in order to reflect cash distributions made to the limited partners and extraordinary events. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, Dyco's repurchase offer per Unit and the amount of the Program's cash distributions per Unit for the same period. For purposes of this Annual Report, a Unit represents an initial subscription of $5,000 to a Program.
Repurchase Cash Price Distributions ---------- -------------
1995: First Quarter $233 $ - Second Quarter 264 - Third Quarter 234 30 Fourth Quarter 234 -

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Use of Forward-Looking Statements and Estimates
This Annual Report contains certain forward-looking statements. The words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "plan," "intend," "estimate," "project," "could," "may," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect management's current views with respect to future events and financial performance. This Annual Report also includes certain information which is, or is based upon, estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions are management's efforts to accurately reflect the condition and operation of the Program.
Use of forward-looking statements and estimates and assumptions involve risks and uncertainties which include, but are not limited to, the volatility of oil and gas prices, the uncertainty of reserve information, the operating risk associated with oil and gas properties (including the risk of personal injury, death, property damage, damage to the well or producing reservoir, environmental contamination, and other operating risks), the prospect of changing tax and regulatory laws, the availability and capacity of processing and transportation facilities, the general economic climate, the supply and price of foreign imports of oil and gas, the level of consumer product demand, and the price and availability of alternative fuels. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur or should estimates or underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual conditions or results may vary materially and adversely from those stated, anticipated, believed, estimated, or otherwise indicated.
General Discussion
The following general discussion should be read in conjunction with the analysis of results of operations provided below. The most important variable affecting the Program's revenues is the prices received for the sale of oil and gas. Predicting future prices is very difficult. Concerning past trends, average yearly wellhead gas prices in the United States have been relatively volatile for a number of years. For the past ten years, such prices have generally been in the $1.40 to $2.00 per Mcf range, significantly below prices received in the early 1980s. Average gas prices in the last several months have, however, been somewhat higher than those yearly averages. It is not known whether this is a short-term trend or will lead to higher average gas prices on a longer-term basis.
Substantially all of the Program's gas reserves are being sold in the "spot market." Prices on the spot market are subject to wide seasonal and regional pricing fluctuations due to the highly competitive nature of the spot market. In addition, such spot market sales are generally short-term in nature and are dependent upon the obtaining of transportation services provided by pipelines. Spot prices for the Program's gas increased from approximately $2.00 per Mcf at December 31, 1995 to approximately $3.57 per Mcf at December 31, 1996. Such prices were on an MMBTU basis and differ from the prices actually received by the Program due to transportation and marketing costs, BTU adjustments, and regional price and quality differences.
Due to global consumption and supply trends over the last several months, oil prices have recently been higher than the yearly average prices of the late to mid-1980s and early 1990s. It is not known whether this trend will continue. Prices for the Program's oil increased from approximately $18.50 per barrel at December 31, 1995 to approximately $23.75 per barrel at December 31, 1996.
Future prices for both oil and gas will likely be different from (and may be lower than) the prices in effect on December 31, 1996. Primarily due to heating season demand, year-end prices in many past years have tended to be higher, and in some cases significantly higher, than the yearly average price actually received by the Program for at least the following year. In particular, it should be noted that December 31, 1996 prices were much higher than year-end prices for the last several years and substantially higher than the average prices received in each of the last several years. It is not possible to predict whether the December 1996 pricing level is indicative of a new trend toward higher energy prices or a short-term deviation from the recent history of low to moderate prices; therefore, management is unable to predict whether future oil and gas prices will (i) stabilize, (ii) increase, or (iii) decrease.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 1996 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1995 -------------------------------------
Total oil and gas sales increased $921,912 (154.5%) for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. Of this increase, approximately $619,000 and $301,000, respectively, were related to increases in the volumes and average price of gas sold. Volumes of oil sold decreased 52 barrels, while volumes of gas sold increased 340,246 Mcf for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. The increase in volumes of gas sold resulted primarily from a positive prior period ownership adjustment made by the operator during the year ended December 31, 1996 related to one well which reached payout in June of 1993. This ownership adjustment resulted in gas sales of approximately $382,974 (260,410 Mcf) during the year ended December 31, 1996 attributable to production in 1995, 1994, and the second half of 1993. Average oil and gas prices increased to $20.64 per barrel and $1.99 per Mcf, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1996 from $17.43 per barrel and $1.20 per Mcf, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and production taxes) increased $7,100 (2.5%) for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in production taxes resulting from the increase in gas sales during the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995, partially offset by workover expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 1995 on one well in order to improve the recovery of reserves. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to 26.0% for the year ended December 31, 1996 from 47.6% for the year ended December 31, 1995. This percentage decrease was primarily a result of the increased oil and gas sales discussed above.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties increased $97,368 (83.5%) for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. This increase resulted primarily from the increase in oil and gas sales recognized during the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to 14.1% for the year ended December 31, 1996 from 19.5% for the year ended December 31, 1995. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the increases in the average prices of oil and gas sold during the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995.
General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses decreased to 6.0% for the year ended December 31, 1996 from 15.5% for the year ended December 31, 1995. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the increases in oil and gas sales discussed above.
Year Ended December 31, 1995 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1994 --------------------------------------
Total oil and gas sales decreased $506,076 (45.9%) for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1994. Of this decrease, approximately $248,000 and $249,000, respectively, were related to decreases in both the volumes and average price of gas sold. Volumes of oil and gas sold decreased 708 barrels and 206,295 Mcf, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1994. The decrease in volumes of oil sold was primarily due to sporadic oil production on three significant wells. Volumes of gas sold decreased primarily due to the deterioration of the producing capabilities of the Program's wells. Average oil prices increased to $17.43 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $15.53 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 1994. Average gas prices decreased to $1.20 per Mcf for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $1.56 per Mcf for the year ended December 31, 1994.
Oil and gas production expenses (including lease operating expenses and production taxes) decreased $33,068 (10.4%) for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1994. This decrease was primarily due to lower production taxes associated with the decrease in oil and gas sales discussed above, partially offset by workover expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 1995. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, these expenses increased to 47.6% for the year ended December 31, 1995 from 28.8% for the year ended December 31, 1994. This percentage increase was primarily a result of the significant decrease in oil and gas sales during the year ended December 31, 1995.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of oil and gas properties decreased $178,839 (60.5%) for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1994. This decrease was primarily a result of the decrease in oil and gas sales and a significant increase in the estimate of remaining gas reserves at December 31, 1995. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense decreased to 19.5% for the year ended December 31, 1995 from 26.8% for the year ended December 31, 1994. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the increase in the estimate of remaining gas reserves discussed above.
General and administrative expenses increased $7,071 (8.3%) for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1994. This dollar increase resulted primarily from an increase in both professional fees and printing and postage expenses during the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the similar period in 1994. As a percentage of oil and gas sales, this expense increased to 15.5% for the year ended December 31, 1995 from 7.7% for the year ended December 31, 1994. This percentage increase was primarily a result of the decrease in oil and gas sales discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net proceeds from operations less necessary operating capital are distributed to the limited partners on a quarterly basis. See "Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Limited Partnership Units and Related Limited Partner Matters." The net proceeds from production are not reinvested in productive assets, except to the extent that producing wells are improved, or where methods are employed to permit more efficient recovery of reserves, thereby resulting in a positive economic impact. Assuming production levels for the year ended December 31, 1996, the Program's proved reserve quantities at December 31, 1996 would have a life of approximately 2.7 years (net of the previously discussed prior period adjustment of 260,410 Mcf) for gas reserves and 7.1 years for oil reserves. However, since the Program's reserve estimates are based on oil and gas prices at December 31, 1996, it is possible that a significant decrease in oil and gas prices from December 31, 1996 levels will reduce such reserves and their corresponding life-span.
The Program's available capital from the limited partners' subscriptions has been spent on oil and gas drilling activities and there should be no further material capital resource commitments in the future. The Program has no debt commitments. Cash for operational purposes will be provided by current oil and gas production.
The Samson Companies are currently in the process of evaluating certain oil and gas properties owned by the Program and other entities of the Samson Companies. As a result of such evaluation, it is expected that certain of these properties will be placed in bid packages and offered for sale during the first half of 1997. It is likely that the Program will have an interest in some of the properties being sold. It is currently estimated that the value of such sales, as a percentage of total proved reserves of the Program, will range from 1% to 10%.
The decision to accept any offer for the purchase of a Program property will be made by Dyco after giving due consideration to the offer price and Dyco's estimate of both the property's remaining proved reserves and future operating costs. Net proceeds from the sale of any such properties will be distributed to the Program and will be included in the calculation of the Program's cash distributions for the quarter immediately following the Program's receipt of the proceeds.
Following completion of any sale, the Program's quantity of proved reserves will be reduced. It is also possible that the Program's repurchase values and future cash distributions could decline as a result of a reduction of the Program's reserve base. On the other hand, Dyco believes there will be beneficial operating efficiencies related to the Program's remaining properties. This is primarily due to the fact that the properties being considered for sale are more likely to bear a higher ratio of operating expenses as compared to reserves than the properties not being considered for sale. The net effect of such property sales is difficult to predict as of the date of this Annual Report.
There can be no assurance as to the amount of the Program's future cash distributions. The Program's ability to make cash distributions depends primarily upon the level of available cash flow generated by the Program's operating activities, which will be affected (either positively or negatively) by many factors beyond the control of the Program, including the price of and demand for oil and gas and other market and economic conditions. Even if prices and costs remain stable, the amount of cash available for distributions will decline over time (as the volume of production from producing properties declines) since the Program is not replacing production through acquisitions of producing properties and drilling. If the Program sells any of its properties as discussed above, the Program's quantity of proved reserves will be reduced; therefore, it is possible that the Program's future cash distributions could decline as a result of a reduction of the Program's reserve base.
Inflation and Changing Prices
Prices obtained for oil and gas production depend upon numerous factors, including the extent of domestic and foreign production, foreign imports of oil, market demand, domestic and foreign economic conditions in general, and governmental regulations and tax laws. The general level of inflation in the economy did not have a material effect on the operations of the Program in 1996. Oil and gas prices have fluctuated during recent years and generally have not followed the same pattern as inflation. See "Item 2. Properties - Oil and Gas Production, Revenue, and Price History."

DYCO OIL AND GAS PROGRAM 1983-1 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP Notes to Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Nature of Operations
The Dyco Oil and Gas Program 1983-1 Limited Partnership (the "Program"), a Minnesota limited partnership, commenced operations on July 1, 1983. Dyco Petroleum Corporation ("Dyco") is the General Partner of the Program. Affiliates of Dyco owned 3,055.70 (39.8%) of the Program's Units at December 31, 1996.
The Program's sole business is the development and production of oil and gas with a concentration on gas. Substantially all of the Program's gas reserves are being sold regionally in the "spot market." Due to the highly competitive nature of the spot market, prices on the spot market are subject to wide seasonal and regional pricing fluctuations. In addition, such spot market sales are generally short-term in nature and are dependent upon the obtaining of transportation services provided by pipelines.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Program considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are not insured, which cause the Program to be subject to risk.
Credit Risk
Accrued oil and gas sales which are due from a variety of oil and gas purchasers subject the Program to a concentration of credit risk. Some of these purchasers are discussed in Note 3 - Major Customers.
Oil and Gas Properties
Oil and gas operations are accounted for using the full cost method of accounting. All productive and non-productive costs associated with the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Capitalized costs are depleted on a composite gross revenue method using estimates of proved reserves. The full cost amortization rates per equivalent Mcf of gas produced during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994 were $0.26, $0.24, and $0.42, respectively. The Program's calculation of depreci-ation, depletion, and amortization includes estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing proved reserves and estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs, net of estimated salvage values. In the event the unamortized cost of oil and gas properties being amortized exceeds the full cost ceiling (as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")) the excess is charged to expense in the year during which such excess occurs. In addition, SEC rules provide that if prices decline subsequent to year end, any excess that results from these declines may also be charged to expense during the current year. Sales and abandonments of properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved oil and gas reserves.
Deferred Charge
The Deferred Charge at December 31, 1996 and 1995 represents costs deferred for lease operating expenses incurred in connection with the Program's underproduced gas imbalance position. At December 31, 1996, cumulative total gas sales volumes for underproduced wells were less than the Program's pro- rata share of total gas production from these wells by 114,293 Mcf, resulting in prepaid lease operating expenses of $31,202. At December 31, 1995, cumulative total gas sales volumes for underproduced wells were less than the Program's pro-rata share of total gas production from these wells by 166,576 Mcf, resulting in prepaid lease operating expenses of $65,964.
Accrued Liability
The Accrued Liability at December 31, 1996 and 1995 represents charges accrued for lease operating expenses incurred in connection with the Program's overproduced gas imbalance position. At December 31, 1996, cumulative total gas sales volumes for overproduced wells exceeded the Program's pro-rata share of total gas production from these wells by 461,827 Mcf, resulting in accrued lease operating expenses of $126,079. At December 31, 1995, cumulative total gas sales volumes for overproduced wells exceeded the Program's pro-rata share of total gas production from these wells by 458,794 Mcf, resulting in accrued lease operating expenses of $181,682.
Oil and Gas Sales and Gas Imbalance Payable
The Program's oil and condensate production is sold, title passed, and revenue recognized at or near the Program's wells under short-term purchase contracts at prevailing prices in accordance with arrangements which are customary in the oil industry. Sales of gas applicable to the Program's interest in producing oil and gas leases are recorded as income when the gas is metered and title transferred pursuant to the gas sales contracts covering the Program's interest in gas reserves. During such times as the Program's sales of gas exceed its pro rata ownership in a well, such sales are recorded as income unless total sales from the well have exceeded the Program's share of estimated total gas reserves underlying the property at which time such excess is recorded as a liability. At December 31, 1996, total sales exceeded the Program's share of estimated total gas reserves on three wells by $57,521 (38,347 Mcf). At December 31, 1995, total sales exceeded the Program's share of estimated total gas reserves on one well by $90,223 (44,445 Mcf). These amounts were recorded as gas imbalance payables in accordance with the sales method.
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
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. Further, accrued oil and gas sales, the deferred charge, the gas imbalance payable, and the accrued liability all involve estimates which could materially differ from the actual amounts ultimately realized or incurred in the near term. Oil and gas reserves (see Note 4) also involve significant estimates which could materially differ from the actual amounts ultimately realized.
Income Taxes
Income or loss for income tax purposes is includable in the income tax returns of the partners. Accordingly, no recognition has been given to income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
Under the terms of the Program Agreement, Dyco is entitled to receive a reimbursement for all direct expenses and general and administrative, geological, and engineering expenses it incurs on behalf of the Program. During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, such expenses totaled $90,624, $92,351, and $85,280, respectively, of which $71,280 was paid each year to Dyco and its affiliates.
Affiliates of the Program operate certain of the Program's properties. Their policy is to bill the Program for all customary charges and cost reimbursements associated with these activities, together with any compressor rentals, consulting, or other services provided.
During 1994 and 1995 the Program sold gas at market prices to El Paso Energy Marketing Company, formerly known as Premier Gas Company ("El Paso"). El Paso, like other similar gas marketing firms, then resold such gas to third parties at market prices. El Paso was an affiliate of the Program until December 6, 1995. During 1995 and 1994, these sales totaled $584,600, and $1,081,000, respectively. At December 31, 1995, accrued oil and gas sales included $101,934 due from El Paso.
3. MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The following purchaser individually accounted for more than 10% of the combined oil and gas revenues (excluding the gas imbalance adjustment) of the Program for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994:
Purchaser 1996 1995 1994 --------- ----- ----- -----
El Paso 99.0% 98.0% 98.0%
In the event of interruption of purchases by this significant customer or the cessation or material change in availability of open-access transportation by the Program's pipeline transporters, the Program may encounter difficulty in marketing its gas and in maintaining historic sales levels. Alternative purchasers or transporters may not be readily available.
4. SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS INFORMATION
The following supplemental information regarding the oil and gas activities of the Program is presented pursuant to the disclosure requirements promulgated by the SEC.
Capitalized Costs
The Program's capitalized costs and accumulated depreciation, depletion, amortization, and valuation allowance were as follows:
December 31, ---------------------------- 1996 1995 ------------- -------------
Proved properties $35,527,206 $35,411,185

Net oil and gas properties $ 684,764 $ 782,694 ========== ==========
Costs Incurred
Costs incurred by the Program in connection with its oil and gas property acquisition, exploration, and development activities were as follows:
December 31, ------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 -------- ------- -------
Acquisition of properties $ - $ - $ - Exploration costs - - - Development costs 133,423 14,456 9,955 ------- ------ ------
Total costs incurred $133,423 $14,456 $ 9,955 ======= ====== ======
The process of estimating oil and gas reserves is complex, requiring significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of available geological, engineering, and economic data for each reservoir. The data for a given reservoir may change substantially over time as a result of, among other things, additional development activity, production history, and viability of production under varying economic conditions; con- sequently, it is reasonably possible that material revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur in the near future. Although every reasonable effort has been made to ensure that the reserve estimates reported herein represent the most accurate assessment possible, the significance of the subjective decisions required and variances in available data for various reservoirs make these estimates generally less precise than other estimates presented in connection with financial statement disclosures.

ITEM 11.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Program is a limited partnership and, therefore, has no officers or directors. The following table summarizes the amounts paid by the Program as compensation and reimbursements to Dyco and its affiliates for the three years ended December 31, 1996:
Compensation/Reimbursement to Dyco and its affiliates Three Years Ended December 31, 1996
Type of Compensation/Reimbursement(1) Expense - ------------------------------------- ------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 ------- ------- ------- Compensation: Operations $ (2) $ (2) $ (2) Gas Marketing(3) $ (3) $ (3) $ (3)
Reimbursements: General and Administrative, Geological, and Engineering Expenses and Direct Expenses(4) $71,280 $71,280 $71,280
- ----------
(1) The authority for all of such compensation and reimbursement is the Program Agreement. With respect to the Operations activities noted in the table, management believes that such compensation is equal to or less than that charged by unaffiliated persons in the same geographic areas and under the same conditions. (2) Affiliates of the Program serve as operator of a majority of the Program's wells. Dyco, as General Partner, contracts with such affiliates for services as operator of the wells. As operator, such affiliates are compensated at rates provided in the operating agreements in effect and charged to all parties to such agreement. The dollar amount of such compensation paid by the Program to such affiliates is impossible to quantify as of the date of this Annual Report. (3) During 1994 and 1995 El Paso, an affiliate of the Program until December 6, 1995, purchased a portion of the Program's gas at market prices and resold such gas at market prices directly to end-users and local distribution companies. For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Program sold $584,600 and $1,081,000, respectively, of gas to El Paso. After December 6, 1995, the Program's gas was marketed by Dyco and its affiliates, who were reimbursed for such activities as general and administrative expenses.
(4) The Program reimburses Dyco and its affiliates for reasonable and necessary general and administrative, geological, and engineering expenses and direct expenses incurred in connection with their management and operation of the Program. The directors, officers, and employees of Dyco and its affiliates receive no direct remuneration from the Program for their services to the Program. See "Salary Reimbursement Table" below. The allocable general and administrative, geological, and engineering expenses are apportioned on a reasonable basis between the Program's business and all other oil and gas activities of Dyco and its affiliates, including Dyco's management and operation of affiliated oil and gas limited partnerships. The allocation to the Program of these costs is made by Dyco as General Partner.
As noted in the Compensation/Reimbursement Table above, the directors, officers, and employees of Dyco and their affiliates receive no direct remuneration from the Program for their services. However, to the extent such services represent direct involvement with the Program, as opposed to general corporate functions, such persons' salaries are allocated to and reimbursed by the Program. Such allocation to the Program's general and administrative, geological, and engineering expenses of the salaries of directors, officers, and employees of Dyco and its affiliates is based on internal records maintained by Dyco and its affiliates, and represents investor relations, legal, accounting, data processing, management, gas marketing, and other functions directly attributable to the Program's operations. The following table indicates the approximate amount of general and administrative expense reimbursement attributable to the salaries of the directors, officers, and employees of Dyco and its affiliates for the three years ended December 31, 1996:
In addition to the compensation/reimbursements noted above, during the three years ended December 31, 1996, the Samson Companies were in the business of supplying field and drilling equipment and services to affiliated and unaffiliated parties in the industry. Such companies may have provided equipment and services for wells in which the Program has an interest. These equipment and services were provided at prices or rates equal to or less than those normally charged in the same or comparable geographic area by unaffiliated persons or companies dealing at arm's length. The operators of these wells bill the Program for a portion of such costs based upon the Program's interest in the well.
ITEM 12.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table provides information as to the beneficial ownership of the Program's Units as of January 31, 1997 by each beneficial owner of more than 5% of the issued and outstanding Units and by the directors, officers, and affiliates of Dyco. The address of each of such persons is Samson Plaza, Two West Second Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103.
Number of Units Beneficially Owned (Percent Beneficial Owner of Outstanding) ------------------------------- -----------------
Samson Properties Incorporated 3,056.70 (39.8%)
All directors, officers, and affiliates of Dyco as a group and Dyco (5 persons) 3,056.70 (39.8%)
To the best knowledge of the Program and Dyco, there were no officers, directors, or 5% owners who were delinquent filers of reports required under section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
ITEM 13.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Certain affiliates of Dyco engage in oil and gas activities independently of the Program which result in conflicts of interest that cannot be totally eliminated. The allocation of acquisition and drilling opportunities and the nature of the compensation arrangements between the Program and such affiliates also create potential conflicts of interest. An affiliate of the Program owns a significant amount of the Program's Units and therefore has an identity of interest with other limited partners with respect to the operations of the Program.
In order to attempt to assure limited liability for limited partners as well as an orderly conduct of business, management of the Program is exercised solely by Dyco. The Program Agreement grants Dyco broad discretionary authority with respect to the Program's participation in drilling prospects and expenditure and control of funds, including borrowings. These provisions are similar to those contained in prospectuses and partnership agreements for other public oil and gas partnerships. Broad discretion as to general management of the Program involves circumstances where Dyco has conflicts of interest and where it must allocate costs and expenses, or opportunities, among the Program and other competing interests.
Dyco does not devote all of its time, efforts, and personnel exclusively to the Program. Furthermore, the Program does not have any employees, but instead relies on the personnel of the Samson Companies. The Program thus competes with the Samson Companies (including other currently sponsored oil and gas programs) for the time and resources of such personnel. The Samson Companies devote such time and personnel to the management of the Program as are indicated by the circumstances and as are consistent with Dyco's fiduciary duties.
Affiliates of the Program are solely responsible for the negotiation, administration, and enforcement of oil and gas sales agreements covering the Program's leasehold interests. Because affiliates of the Program who provide services to the Program have fiduciary or other duties to other members of the Samson Companies, contract amendments and negotiating positions taken by them in their effort to enforce contracts with purchasers may not necessarily repre- sent the positions that the Program would take if it were to administer its own contracts without involvement with other members of the Samson Companies. On the other hand, management believes that the Program's negotiating strength and contractual positions have been enhanced by virtue of its affiliation with the Samson Companies.
For a description of certain other relationships and related transactions, see "Item 11. Executive Compensation."
