Workover. Operations on a producing well to restore or increase
production.
Part I
Item 1. Business
General
Southwest Royalties Institutional Income Fund XI-B, L.P. (the "Partnership"
or "Registrant") was organized as a Delaware limited partnership on August
31, 1993. The offering of limited partnership interests began October 25,
1993, as part of a shelf offering registered under the name Southwest
Royalties Institutional 1992-93 Income Program. Minimum capital
requirements for the Partnership were met on December 8, 1993 and concluded
August 20, 1994. The Partnership has no subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had utilized approximately
$2,008,600 of limited partner capital contributions to acquire interests in
oil and gas properties. All excess capital, $89,489, and the associated
organization costs of $3,132, had been distributed to the limited partners
in proportion to their capital contributions as a return of capital.
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 81 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, Chairman, Director, President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Managing General Partner, is also a general partner. The Partnership
has no employees.
Introductory Note - Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 143
The Partnership implemented SFAS No. 143 effective January 1, 2003 (See
Note 3 to the Partnership's financial statements).
Introductory Note - Depletion Method
During 2002, the Partnership changed its method of providing for depletion
from the units-of-revenue method to the units-of-production method as
described in Note 4 to the Partnership's financial statements. This change
in depletion method was applied as a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle effective as of January 1, 2002.
Principal Products, Marketing and Distribution
The Partnership has acquired and holds royalty interest and net profit
interests in oil and gas properties located in New Mexico and Texas. All
activities of the Partnership are confined to the continental United
States. All oil and gas produced from these properties is sold to
unrelated third parties in the oil and gas business.
The revenues generated from the Partnership's oil and gas activities are
dependent upon the current market for oil and gas. With some periodic
exceptions, since the early 1980's, there has been a worldwide oversupply
of oil; therefore, market prices have declined significantly. 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 for
oil and natural gas.
Following is a table of the ratios of revenues received from oil and gas
production for the last three years:
Oil Gas
---- ----
2003 40% 60%
2002 49% 51%
2001 37% 63%
As the table indicates, the Partnership's revenue is almost evenly divided
between its oil and gas production. The Partnership revenues will be
highly dependent upon the future prices and demands for oil and gas.
Seasonality of Business
Although the demand for natural gas can be effected by seasonality, with
higher demand in the colder winter months and in very hot summer months,
the Partnership has not experienced material price and volume changes due
to seasonality and 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.
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
95% of the Partnership's total oil and gas production during 2003: Sid
Richardson Energy Services for 44%, Navajo Refining Company, Inc. for 39%
and Duke Energy for 12%. Contracts for 2003 with these major purchasers
cover time periods ranging from month to month contracts up to five-year
contract periods. Prices received from these major purchasers ranged from
a low of $4.63 per mcf to a high of $4.72 per mcf and $27.50 per barrel.
Two purchasers accounted for 82% of the Partnership's total oil and gas
production during 2002: Sid Richardson Energy Services for 42% and Navajo
Refining Company for 40%. Contracts for 2002 with these major purchasers
cover time periods ranging from month to month contracts up to five-year
contract periods. Prices received from these major purchasers were $2.78
per mcf and $21.85 per barrel. Three purchasers accounted for 93% of the
Partnership's total oil and gas production during 2001: Sid Richardson
Energy Services for 52%, Navajo Refining Company for 31% and Duke Energy
Field Services for 10%. Contracts for 2001 with these major purchasers
cover time periods ranging from month to month contracts up to five-year
contract periods. Prices received from these major purchasers ranged from
a low of $4.38 per mcf to a high of $4.43 per mcf and $24.90 per barrel.
All purchasers of the Partnership's oil and gas production are unrelated
third parties. In the event any of these purchasers were to discontinue
purchasing the Partnership's production, the Managing General Partner
believes that a substitute purchaser or purchasers could be located without
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. 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. The regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry
increases the Partnership's cost of doing business, and, consequently,
affects its profitability.
Regulation of Sales and Transportation of Natural Gas. Our sales of
natural gas are affected by the availability, terms and cost of
transportation. The price and terms for access to pipeline transportation
are subject to extensive regulation. In recent years, the FERC has
undertaken various initiatives to increase competition within the natural
gas industry. As a result of initiatives like FERC Order No. 636, issued in
April 1992, the interstate natural gas transportation and marketing system
has been substantially restructured to remove various barriers and
practices that historically limited non-pipeline natural gas sellers,
including producers, from effectively competing with interstate pipelines
for sales to local distribution companies and large industrial and
commercial customers. The most significant provisions of Order No. 636
require that interstate pipelines provide firm and interruptible
transportation service on an open access basis that is equal for all
natural gas supplies. In many instances, the results of Order No. 636 and
related initiatives have been to substantially reduce or eliminate the
interstate pipelines' traditional role as wholesalers of natural gas in
favor of providing only storage and transportation services. While the
United States Court of Appeals upheld most of Order No. 636, certain
related FERC orders, including the individual pipeline restructuring
proceedings, are still subject to judicial review and may be reversed or
remanded in whole or in part. While the outcome of these proceedings cannot
be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that we will be affected
materially differently than its competitors.
The FERC has also announced several important transportation-related policy
statements and proposed rule changes, including a statement of policy and a
request for comments concerning alternatives to its traditional cost-of-
service rate making methodology to establish the rates interstate pipelines
may charge for their services. A number of pipelines have obtained FERC
authorization to charge negotiated rates as one such alternative. In
February 1997, the FERC announced a broad inquiry into issues facing the
natural gas industry to assist the FERC in establishing regulatory goals
and priorities in the post-Order No. 636 environment. Similarly, the Texas
Railroad Commission has been reviewing changes to its regulations governing
transportation and gathering services provided by intrastate pipelines and
gatherers. While the changes being considered by these federal and state
regulators would affect us only indirectly, they are intended to further
enhance competition in natural gas markets. We cannot predict what further
action the FERC or state regulators will take on these matters, however, we
do not believe that it will be affected by any action taken materially
differently than other natural gas producers with which it competes.
Additional proposals and proceedings that might affect the natural gas
industry are pending before Congress, the FERC, state commissions and the
courts. The natural gas industry historically has been very heavily
regulated; therefore, there is no assurance that the less stringent
regulatory approach recently pursued by the FERC and Congress will
continue.
Oil Price Controls and Transportation Rates. Sales of crude oil, condensate
and gas liquids by us are not currently regulated and are made at market
prices. The price we receive from the sale of these products may be
affected by the cost of transporting the products to market.
Environmental and Health Controls. Extensive federal, state and local
regulatory and common laws regulating the discharge of materials into the
environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment
affect our oil and natural gas operations. Numerous governmental
departments issue rules and regulations to implement and enforce such laws,
which are often difficult and costly to comply with and which carry
substantial civil and even criminal penalties for failure to comply. Some
laws, rules and regulations relating to protection of the environment may,
in certain circumstances, impose strict liability for environmental
contamination, rendering a person liable for environmental damages and
cleanup costs without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such
person. Other laws, rules and regulations may restrict the rate of oil and
natural gas production below the rate that would otherwise exist or even
prohibit exploration and production activities in sensitive areas. In
addition, state laws often require various forms of remedial action to
prevent pollution, such as closure of inactive pits and plugging of
abandoned wells. The regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry
increases our cost of doing business and consequently affects our
profitability. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with
current applicable environmental laws and regulations and that continued
compliance with existing requirements will not have a material adverse
impact on our operations. However, environmental laws and regulations have
been subject to frequent changes over the years, and the imposition of more
stringent requirements could have a material adverse effect upon our
capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. Additionally,
given the intense litigation environment in the United States, a threat
exists of lawsuits alleging personal injury and property damage from
environmental contamination alleged to be created by us or related
entities. Potential liability in such lawsuits can include not only
compensatory, but substantial punitive damages as well. We are not aware
of any such suits currently pending or threatened.
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
("CERCLA"), also known as the "Superfund" law, imposes liability, without
regard to fault on certain classes of persons that are considered to be
responsible for the release of a "hazardous substance" into the
environment. These persons include the current or former owner or operator
of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that
disposed or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances. Under CERCLA
such persons may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of
investigating and cleaning up hazardous substances that have been released
into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of
certain health studies. In addition, companies that incur liability
frequently also confront third party claims because it is not uncommon for
neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal
injury and property damage allegedly caused by hazardous substances or
other pollutants released into the environment from a polluted site.
Potential liability also exists under CERCLA for natural resource damage.
A Natural Resource Damage Action (NRDA) could result in liability being
assessed for restoration to natural resources.
The Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990 ("OPA") regulates the release of oil
into water or other areas designated by the statute. A release could
result in our being held responsible for the cost of remediating the
release, OPA specified damages and natural resource damages. The extent of
such liability could be extensive. A release of oil in harmful quantities
or other materials into water or other specified areas could also result in
our being held responsible under the Clean Water Act ("CWA") for the costs
of remediation, and any civil and criminal fines and penalties.
The Federal Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 ("RCRA"), regulates the generation,
transportation, storage, treatment and disposal of solid and hazardous
wastes and can require cleanup of abandoned hazardous waste disposal sites
as well as waste management areas operating facilities. RCRA currently
excludes drilling fluids, produced waters and other wastes associated with
the exploration, development or production of oil and natural gas from
regulation as "hazardous waste." Disposal of such non-hazardous oil and
natural gas exploration, development and production wastes usually are
regulated by state law. Other wastes handled at exploration and production
sites or used in the course of providing well services may not fall within
this exclusion. Moreover, stricter standards for waste handling and
disposal may be imposed on the oil and natural gas industry in the future.
From time to time legislation is proposed in Congress that would revoke or
alter the current exclusion of exploration, development and production
wastes from the RCRA definition of "hazardous wastes" thereby potentially
subjecting such wastes to more stringent handling, disposal and cleanup
requirements. If such legislation were enacted it could have a significant
impact on the operating costs of Southwest and Sierra, as well as the oil
and natural gas industry and well servicing industry in general. The impact
of future revisions to environmental laws and regulations cannot be
predicted. In addition, if our operations were to trigger regulation under
RCRA, we could be required to satisfy certain financial criteria to ensure
financial ability to comply with RCRA regulations. Proof of financial
responsibility could be required in the form of dedicated trust funds,
irrevocable letters of credit, posting of bonds, etc.
The Federal Clean Water Act ("CWA") contains provisions that may result in
the imposition of certain water pollution control requirements with respect
to water releases from our operations. We may be required to incur certain
capital expenditures in the next several years for water pollution control
equipment in connection with obtaining and maintaining National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination Systems ("NPDES") permits. However, we believe our
operations will not be materially adversely affected by any such
requirements, and the requirements are not expected to be any more
burdensome to us than to other similarly situated companies involved in oil
and natural gas exploration and production activities or well surfacing
activities.
Our operations are also subject to the federal Clean Air Act ("CAA") and
comparable state and local requirements. Amendments to the CAA were adopted
in 1990 and contain provisions that may result in the gradual imposition of
certain pollution control requirements with respect to air emissions from
our operations. We may be required to incur certain capital expenditures in
the next several years for air pollution control equipment in connection
with obtaining and maintaining operating permits and approvals for air
emissions. However, we believe our operations will not be materially
adversely affected by any such requirements, and the requirements are not
expected to be any more burdensome to us than to other similarly situated
companies involved in oil and natural gas exploration and production
activities or well servicing activities.
We maintain insurance against "sudden and accidental" occurrences, which
may cover some, but not all, of the environmental risks described above.
Most significantly, the insurance we maintain will not cover the risks
described above which occur over a sustained period of time. Further, there
can be no assurance that such insurance will continue to be available to
cover all such costs or that such insurance will be available at premium
levels that justify its purchase. The occurrence of a significant event
not fully insured or indemnified against could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and operations.
Limited partners should be aware that the assessment of liability
associated with environmental liabilities is not always correlated to the
value of a particular project. Accordingly, liability associated with the
environment under local, state, or federal regulations, particularly clean
ups under CERCLA, can exceed the value of our investment in the associated
site.
Regulation of Oil and Natural Gas Exploration and Production. Our
exploration and production operations are subject to various types of
regulation at the federal, state and local levels. Such regulations
include requiring permits and drilling bonds for the drilling of wells,
regulating the location of wells, the method of drilling and casing wells,
and the surface use and restoration of properties upon which wells are
drilled. Many states also have statutes or regulations addressing
conservation matters, including provisions for the utilization or pooling
of oil and natural gas properties, the establishment of maximum rates of
production from oil and natural gas wells and the regulation of spacing,
plugging and abandonment of such wells. Some state statutes limit the rate
at which oil and natural gas can be produced from our properties.
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,
2003 there were 81 individuals directly employed by the Managing General
Partner in various capacities.
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, 2003, the Partnership possessed an interest in oil and
gas properties located in Eddy County of New Mexico; Andrews, Dawson,
Howard, Midland, Reeves, Schleicher, Upton, Ward and Winkler Counties of
Texas. These properties consist of various interests in 60 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 2003, 2002 and 2001.
During 2003, one lease was sold for $27,400. There were no property sales
during 2002. During 2001, three leases were sold for approximately
$27,600.
In compliance with the Partnership Agreement, if the Partnership should
purchase a producing property from the Managing General Partner, such
purchase price would be prior cost, adjusted for any intervening operation.
If such adjusted cost was greater than fair market value, or if specific
cost was unable to be determined, such purchase price would be fair market
value as determined by an independent reservoir engineer.

(1)Amounts represent proved developed reserves from currently producing
zones.
*Ryder Scott Company, L.P. prepared the reserve and present value data for
the Partnership's existing properties as of January 1, 2004. The reserve
estimates were made in accordance with guidelines established by the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-
X. Such guidelines require oil and gas reserve reports be prepared under
existing economic and operating conditions with no provisions for price and
cost escalation except by contractual arrangements.
Oil price adjustments were made in the individual evaluations to reflect
oil quality, gathering and transportation costs. The results of the reserve
report as of January 1, 2004 are an average price of $30.02 per barrel.
Gas price adjustments were made in the individual evaluations to reflect
BTU content, gathering and transportation costs and gas processing and
shrinkage. The results of the reserve report as of January 1, 2004 are an
average price of $5.73 per Mcf.
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 2003.
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 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 farmout
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.
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. See Part II,
Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operation.
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 2003 through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.
Part II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder
Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Market Information
Limited partnership interests, or units, in the Partnership are currently
being 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. 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 in
accordance with the obligations set forth in the partnership agreement, 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 under
the partnership agreement.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
General
Southwest Royalties Institutional Income Fund XI-B, L.P. was organized as a
Delaware limited partnership on August 31, 1993. The offering of limited
partnership interests began October 25, 1993, as part of a shelf offering
registered under the name Southwest Royalties Institutional 1992-93 Income
Program. Minimum capital requirements for the Partnership were met on
December 8, 1993, and the Offering Period terminated August 20, 1994 with
174 limited partners purchasing 4,851 units for $2,425,500.
The Partnership was formed to acquire non-operating 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 will not be 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 will thus depend 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 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 has fluctuated over the past few years and is expected to decline
in later years based on these factors.
Based on current conditions, management anticipates performing no workovers
during 2004 to enhance production. The partnership will most likely
experience the historical production decline, which has approximated 15%
per year. Accordingly, if commodity prices remain unchanged, the
Partnership expects future earnings to decline due to anticipated
production declines.
Critical Accounting Policies
Full cost ceiling calculations The Partnership follows the full cost method
of accounting for its oil and gas properties. The full cost method
subjects companies to quarterly calculations of a "ceiling", or limitation
on the amount of properties that can be capitalized on the balance sheet.
If the Partnership's capitalized costs are in excess of the calculated
ceiling, the excess must be written off as an expense.
The Partnership's discounted present value of its proved oil and natural
gas reserves is a major component of the ceiling calculation, and
represents the component that requires the most subjective judgments.
Estimates of reserves are forecasts based on engineering data, projected
future rates of production and the timing of future expenditures. The
process of estimating oil and natural gas reserves requires substantial
judgment, resulting in imprecise determinations, particularly for new
discoveries. Different reserve engineers may make different estimates of
reserve quantities based on the same data. The Partnership's reserve
estimates are prepared by outside consultants.
The passage of time provides more qualitative information regarding
estimates of reserves, and revisions are made to prior estimates to reflect
updated information. However, there can be no assurance that more
significant revisions will not be necessary in the future. If future
significant revisions are necessary that reduce previously estimated
reserve quantities, it could result in a full cost property writedown. In
addition to the impact of these estimates of proved reserves on calculation
of the ceiling, estimates of proved reserves are also a significant
component of the calculation of DD&A.
While the quantities of proved reserves require substantial judgment, the
associated prices of oil and natural gas reserves that are included in the
discounted present value of the reserves do not require judgment. The
ceiling calculation dictates that prices and costs in effect as of the last
day of the period are generally held constant indefinitely. Because the
ceiling calculation dictates that prices in effect as of the last day of
the applicable quarter are held constant indefinitely, the resulting value
is not indicative of the true fair value of the reserves. Oil and natural
gas prices have historically been cyclical and, on any particular day at
the end of a quarter, can be either substantially higher or lower than the
Partnership's long-term price forecast that is a barometer for true fair
value.
In 2002, the Partnership changed methods of accounting for depletion of
capitalized costs from the units-of-revenue method to the units-of-
production method. The newly adopted accounting principle is preferable in
the circumstances because the units-of-production method results in a
better matching of the costs of oil and gas production against the related
revenue received in periods of volatile prices for production as have been
experienced in recent periods. Additionally, the units-of-production
method is the predominant method used by full cost companies in the oil and
gas industry, accordingly, the change improves the comparability of the
Partnership's financial statements with its peer group.

Revenues
The Partnership's income from net profits interests increased to $163,167
from $106,272 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively,
an increase of 54%. The principal factors affecting the comparison of the
years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 are as follows:
1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
increased during the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the
year ended December 31, 2002 by 19%, or $4.59 per barrel, resulting in
an increase of approximately $22,000 in income from net profits
interests. Oil sales represented 40% of total oil and gas sales during
the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to 49% during the year
ended December 31, 2002.
The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership
increased during the same period by 62%, or $1.79 per mcf, resulting in
an increase of approximately $78,800 in income from net profits
interests.
The total increase in income from net profits interests due to the
change in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately
$100,800. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile
over the past decade and management expects a certain amount of
volatility to continue in the foreseeable future.
2. Oil production decreased approximately 1,020 barrels or 18% during the
year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the year ended December 31,
2002, resulting in a decrease of approximately $24,800 in income from
net profits interests.
Gas production decreased approximately 5,800 mcf or 12% during the same
period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $16,900 in income from
net profits interests.
The total decrease in income from net profits interests due to the
change in production is approximately $41,700. The decrease in oil
production is due primarily to the sale of one property.
3. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 1% higher, or
approximately $2,500 more during the year ended December 31, 2003 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2002.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses increased to $80,157 from $63,548 for the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, an increase of 26%. The
increase is the result of higher accretion expense and general and
administrative costs.
1. General and administrative costs consists of independent accounting and
engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General
Partner personnel costs. General and administrative costs increased
17% or approximately $6,800 during the year ended December 31, 2003 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in general
and administrative expense is due to an increase in independent
accounting review and audit fees.
2. Depletion expense remained unchanged for the year ended December 31,
2003 compared to the same period in 2002. The BOE depletion rate for
the year ended December 31, 2003, which was $1.90 applied to 12,133 BOE
as compared to $1.63 applied to 14,120 BOE for the same period in 2002.
Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle
On January 1, 2003, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
("SFAS No. 143"). Adoption of SFAS No. 143 is required for all companies
with fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The new standard requires
the Partnership to recognize a liability for the present value of all legal
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets
and to capitalize an equal amount as a cost of the asset and depreciate the
additional cost over the estimated useful life of the asset. On January 1,
2003, the Partnership recorded additional costs, net of accumulated
depreciation, of approximately $52,752, a long term liability of
approximately $123,875 and a loss of approximately $71,123 for the
cumulative effect on depreciation of the additional costs and accretion
expense on the liability related to expected abandonment costs of its oil
and natural gas producing properties. At December 31, 2003, the asset
retirement obligation was $131,872, and the increase in the balance from
January 1, 2003 is due primarily by accretion expense of $9,839, partially
offset by the plug and abandonment of an oil property, which decreased the
asset retirement obligation by $1,843. The pro forma amounts of the asset
retirement obligation as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, were
approximately $123,875, $114,758 and $106,312, respectively. The pro forma
amounts of the asset retirement obligation were measured using information,
assumptions and interest rates as of the adoption date of January 1, 2003.

The Partnership's income from net profits interests decreased to $106,272
from $225,266 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively,
a decrease of 53%. The principal factors affecting the comparison of the
years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:
1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
decreased during the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the
year ended December 31, 2001 by 5%, or $1.17 per barrel, resulting in a
decrease of approximately $6,800 in income from net profits interests.
Oil sales represented 49% of total oil and gas sales during the year
ended December 31, 2002 as compared to 37% during the year ended
December 31, 2001.
The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership
decreased during the same period by 27%, or $1.08 per mcf, resulting in
a decrease of approximately $53,800 in income from net profits
interests.
The total decrease in income from net profits interests due to the
change in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately
$60,600. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile
over the past decade and management expects a certain amount of
volatility to continue in the foreseeable future.
2. Oil production decreased approximately 310 barrels or 5% during the
year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31,
2001, resulting in a decrease of approximately $7,900 in income from
net profits interests.
Gas production decreased approximately 17,700 mcf or 26% during the
same period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $70,600 in income
from net profits interests.
The total decrease in income from net profits interests due to the
change in production is approximately $78,500. The decrease in gas
production is due primarily to one lease that had been shut-in during
the year, but is currently being brought back on.
3. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 10% lower, or
approximately $20,600 less during the year ended December 31, 2002 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2001.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses decreased to $63,548 from $99,290 for the years
ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, a decrease of 36%. The
decrease is the result of lower depletion expense, partially offset by an
increase in general and administrative costs.
1. General and administrative costs consists of independent accounting and
engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General
Partner personnel costs. General and administrative costs increased 1%
or approximately $300 during the year ended December 31, 2002 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2001.
2. Depletion expense decreased to $23,000 for the year ended December 31,
2002 from $59,000 for the same period in 2001. This represents a
decrease of 61%. In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Partnership
changed methods of accounting for depletion of capitalized costs from
the units-of-revenue method to the units-of-production method. The
newly adopted accounting principle is preferable in the circumstances
because the units-of-production method results in a better matching of
the costs of oil and gas production against the related revenue
received in periods of volatile prices for production as have been
experienced in recent periods. Additionally, the units-of-production
method is the predominant method used by full cost companies in the oil
and gas industry, accordingly, the change improves the comparability of
the Partnership's financial statements with its peer group. The effect
of this change in method was to increase 2002 depletion expense by
$2,000 and increase 2002 net income by $4,000. See Note 4 of the notes
to the Partnership's financial statements.
The major factor in 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, 2003 as compared
to 2002, which provided more economically recoverable proved reserves
at January 1, 2003 which caused the depletion rate per equivalent unit
produced to decline. Also, as discussed above, the total equivalent
units produced in 2002 declined from 2001.
C. Revenue and Distribution Comparison
Partnership income for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was
$12,359, $48,971 and $128,334, respectively. Partnership distributions for
the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $121,222, $67,616 and
$260,419, respectively. These differences are indicative of the changes in
oil and gas prices, production and property.
The source for the 2003 distributions of $121,222 was oil and gas
operations of approximately $113,700, and the change in oil and gas
properties of approximately $27,600, resulting in excess cash for
contingencies or subsequent distributions. The sources for the 2002
distributions of $67,616 were oil and gas operations of approximately
$48,800, with the balance from available cash on hand at the beginning of
the period. The source for the 2001 distributions of $260,419 were oil and
gas operations of approximately $231,800, and the change in oil and gas
properties of approximately $27,600, with the balance from available cash
on hand at the beginning of the period.
Total distributions during the year ended December 31, 2003 were $121,222
of which $110,191 was distributed to the limited partners and $11,031 to
the general partners. The per unit distribution to limited partners during
the same period was $22.72. Total distributions during the year ended
December 31, 2002 were $67,616 of which $61,805 was distributed to the
limited partners and $5,811 to the general partners. The per unit
distribution to limited partners during the same period was $12.74. Total
distributions during the year ended December 31, 2001 were $260,419 of
which $234,377 was distributed to the limited partners and $26,042 to the
general partners. The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
same period was $48.32.
Cumulative cash contributions of $1,787,132 have been made to the general
and limited partners as of December 31, 2003. As of December 31, 2003,
$1,624,488 or $334.88 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the
limited partners, representing a 67% return of capital contributed.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The primary source of cash is from operations, the receipt of income from
net profits 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 $113,700 in
2003 compared to $48,800 in 2002 and approximately $231,800 in 2001.
Cash flows provided by investing activities were approximately $27,600.
There were no cash flows provided by investing activities in 2002. Cash
flows provided by investing activities were approximately $27,600 in 2001.
The primary source of the 2003 cash flow from investing activities was the
sale of oil and gas properties.
Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $121,300 in 2003
compared to $67,500 in 2002 and approximately $260,400 in 2001. The only
2003 use in financing activities was the distribution to partners.
As of December 31, 2003, the Partnership had approximately $69,800 in
working capital. The Managing General Partner knows of no other
commitments. Although the Partnership held many long-lived properties at
inception, because of the restrictions on property development imposed by
the partnership agreement, the Partnership cannot develop its non-producing
properties, if any. Without continued development, the producing reserves
continue to deplete. Accordingly, as the Partnership's properties have
matured and depleted, the net cash flows from operations for the
Partnership has steadily declined, except in periods of substantially
increased commodity pricing. Maintenance of properties and administrative
expenses for the Partnership are increasing relative to production. As the
properties continue to deplete, maintenance of properties and
administrative costs as a percentage of production are expected to continue
to increase.
Liquidity - Managing General Partner
As of December 31, 2003, the Managing General Partner is in violation of
several covenants pertaining to their Amended and Restated Revolving Credit
Agreement due June 1, 2006 and their Senior Second Lien Secured Credit
Agreement due October 15, 2008. Due to the covenant violations, the
Managing General Partner is in default under their Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit Agreement and the Senior Second Lien Secured Credit
Agreement, and all amounts due under these agreements have been classified
as a current liability on the Managing General Partner's balance sheet at
December 31, 2003. The significant working capital deficit and debt being
in default at December 31, 2003, raise substantial doubt about the Managing
General Partner's ability to continue as a going concern.
Subsequent to December 31, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Managing
General Partner announced its decision to explore a merger, sale of the
stock or other transaction involving the Managing General Partner. The
Board has formed a Special Committee of independent directors to oversee
the sales process. The Special Committee has retained independent
financial and legal advisors to work closely with the management of the
Managing General Partner to implement the sales process. There can be no
assurance that a sale of the Managing General Partner will be consummated
or what terms, if consummated, the sale will be on.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The EITF is considering two issues related to the reporting of oil and gas
mineral rights. Issue No. 03-O, "Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or
Intangible Assets," is whether or not mineral rights are intangible assets
pursuant to SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." Issue No. 03-S,
"Application of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to Oil
and Gas Companies," is, if oil and gas drilling rights are intangible
assets, whether those assets are subject to the classification and
disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 142. The Partnership classifies the cost
of oil and gas mineral rights as properties and equipment and believes that
this is consistent with oil and gas accounting and industry practice. The
disclosures required by SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 would be made in the notes to
the financial statements. There would be no effect on the statement of
income or cash flows as the intangible assets related to oil and gas
mineral rights would continue to be amortized under the full cost method of
accounting.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization
Southwest Royalties Institutional Income Fund XI-B, L.P. was organized
under the laws of the state of Delaware on August 31, 1993, 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 will sell 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. Partnership profits
and losses, as well as all items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or
credit, will be credited or charged as follows:

continued involvement in Partnership management is important to
its operations. Mr. Wommack, as a general partner, shares also
in Partnership liabilities.
(2) Organization and Offering Expenses (including all cost of
selling and organizing the offering) include a payment by the
Partnership of an amount equal to three percent (3%) of Capital
Contributions for reimbursement of such expenses. All
Organization Costs (which excludes sales commissions and fees) in
excess of three percent (3%) of Capital Contributions with
respect to the Partnership will be allocated to and paid by the
Managing General Partner.
(3) Administrative Costs will be paid from the Partnership's
revenue; however Administrative Costs in the Partnership year in
excess of two percent (2%) of Capital Contributions shall be
allocated to and paid by the Managing General Partner.
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.
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. In applying the units-of-revenue method
for the year ended December 31, 2001, we have not excluded royalty and
net profit interest payments from gross revenues as all of our royalty
and net profit interests have been purchased and capitalized to the
depletion basis of our proved oil and gas properties. As of December
31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the net capitalized costs did not exceed the
estimated value of oil and gas reserves.
Southwest Royalties Institutional Income Fund XI-B, L.P.
(a Delaware limited partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Oil and Gas Properties - continued
The Partnership's interest in oil and gas properties consists of net
profits interests in proved properties located within the continental
United States. A net profits interest is created when the owner of a
working interest in a property enters into an arrangement providing
that the net profits interest owner will receive a stated percentage
of the net profit from the property. The net profits interest owner
will not otherwise participate in additional costs and expenses of the
property.
The Partnership recognizes income from its net profits interest in oil
and gas property on an accrual basis, while the quarterly cash
distributions of the net profits interest are based on a calculation
of actual cash received from oil and gas sales, net of expenses
incurred during that quarterly period. If the net profits interest
calculation results in expenses incurred exceeding the oil and gas
income received during a quarter, no cash distribution is due to the
Partnership's net profits interest until the deficit is recovered from
future net profits. The Partnership accrues a quarterly loss on its
net profits interest provided there is a cumulative net amount due for
accrued revenue as of the balance sheet date. As of December 31,
2003, there were no timing differences, which resulted in a deficit
net profit interest.
Estimates and Uncertainties
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. The Partnerships depletion
calculation and full-cost ceiling test for oil and gas properties uses
oil and gas reserves estimates, which are inherently imprecise. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Syndication Costs
Syndication costs are accounted for as a reduction of partnership
equity.
Environmental Costs
The Partnership is subject to extensive federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly
changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and
may require the Partnership to remove or mitigate the environmental
effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances
at various sites. Environmental expenditures are expensed or
capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Costs, which
improve a property as compared with the condition of the property when
originally constructed or acquired and costs, which prevent future
environmental contamination are capitalized. Expenditures that relate
to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no
future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures
of a non-capital nature are recorded when environmental assessment
and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably
estimated.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize oil and gas sales when delivery to the purchaser has
occurred and title has transferred. This occurs when production has
been delivered to a pipeline or transport vehicle.
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, 2003 and 2002,
there were no significant amounts of imbalance in terms of units or
value.

Notes to Financial Statements
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
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 oil and gas properties at December 31,
2003 and 2002 is $340,836 and $402,758 more than that shown on the
accompanying Balance Sheet in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Partnership considers
all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. The Partnership maintains its
cash at one financial institution.
Number of Limited Partner Units
As of December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 there were 4,851 limited
partner units outstanding held by 176, 177 and 177 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The EITF is considering two issues related to the reporting of oil and
gas mineral rights. Issue No. 03-O, "Whether Mineral Rights Are
Tangible or Intangible Assets," is whether or not mineral rights are
intangible assets pursuant to SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations."
Issue No. 03-S, "Application of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, to Oil and Gas Companies," is, if oil and gas
drilling rights are intangible assets, whether those assets are
subject to the classification and disclosure provisions of SFAS No.
142. The Partnership classifies the cost of oil and gas mineral
rights as properties and equipment and believes that this is
consistent with oil and gas accounting and industry practice. The
disclosures required by SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 would be made in the
notes to the financial statements. There would be no effect on the
statement of income or cash flows as the intangible assets related to
oil and gas mineral rights would continue to be amortized under the
full cost method of accounting.
Depletion Policy
In 2002, the Partnership changed methods of accounting for depletion
of capitalized costs from the units-of-revenue method to the units-of-
production method. (See Note 4)
Southwest Royalties Institutional Income Fund XI-B, L.P.
(a Delaware limited partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
3. Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle - SFAS No. 143
On January 1, 2003, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations ("SFAS No. 143"). Adoption of SFAS No. 143 is required
for all companies with fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.
The new standard requires the Partnership to recognize a liability for
the present value of all legal obligations associated with the
retirement of tangible long-lived assets and to capitalize an equal
amount as a cost of the asset and depreciate the additional cost over
the estimated useful life of the asset. On January 1, 2003, the
Partnership recorded additional costs, net of accumulated
depreciation, of approximately $52,752, a long term liability of
approximately $123,875 and a loss of approximately $71,123 for the
cumulative effect on depreciation of the additional costs and
accretion expense on the liability related to expected abandonment
costs of its oil and natural gas producing properties. At December
31, 2003, the asset retirement obligation was $131,872, and the
increase in the balance from January 1, 2003 is due primarily by
accretion expense of $9,839, partially offset by the plug and
abandonment of an oil property, which decreased the asset retirement
obligation by $1,843. The pro forma amounts of the asset retirement
obligation as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, were approximately
$123,875, $114,758 and $106,312, respectively. The pro forma amounts
of the asset retirement obligation were measured using information,
assumptions and interest rates as of the adoption date of January 1,
2003. The pro forma amounts for the years ended 2002 and 2001, which
are presented below, reflect the effect of retroactive application of
SFAS No. 143.

4. Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle - change in
depletion method
In 2002, the Partnership changed methods of accounting for depletion
of capitalized costs from the units-of-revenue method to the units-of-
production method. The newly adopted accounting principle is
preferable in the circumstances because the units-of-production method
results in a better matching of the costs of oil and gas production
against the related revenue received in periods of volatile prices for
production as have been experienced in recent periods. Additionally,
the units-of-production method is the predominant method used by full
cost companies in the oil and gas industry, accordingly, the change
improves the comparability of the Partnership's financial statements
with its peer group. The Partnership adopted the units-of-production
method through the recording of a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle in the amount of $6,000 effective as of January
1, 2002. The Partnership's depletion for the years ended 2003 and
2002 have been calculated using the units-of-production method and
2001 has not been restated. The pro forma amounts for 2001, which are
presented below, reflect the effect of retroactive application of the
units-of-production method. See Note 11 for the effects of the change
in depletion method on the individual quarters of 2002.

5. Liquidity - Managing General Partner
As of December 31, 2003, the Managing General Partner is in violation
of several covenants pertaining to their Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit Agreement due June 1, 2006 and their Senior Second
Lien Secured Credit Agreement due October 15, 2008. Due to the
covenant violations, the Managing General Partner is in default under
their Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement and the Senior
Second Lien Secured Credit Agreement, and all amounts due under these
agreements have been classified as a current liability on the Managing
General Partner's balance sheet at December 31, 2003. The significant
working capital deficit and debt being in default at December 31,
2003, raise substantial doubt about the Managing General Partner's
ability to continue as a going concern.
Subsequent to December 31, 2003, the Board of Directors of the
Managing General Partner announced its decision to explore a merger,
sale of the stock or other transaction involving the Managing General
Partner. The Board has formed a Special Committee of independent
directors to oversee the sales process. The Special Committee has
retained independent financial and legal advisors to work closely with
the management of the Managing General Partner to implement the sales
process. There can be no assurance that a sale of the Managing
General Partner will be consummated or what terms, if consummated, the
sale will be on.
6. 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, 2003, 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.

7. Related Party Transactions
A significant portion of the oil and gas properties in which the
Partnership has an interest are operated by and purchased from the
Managing General Partner. As provided for in the operating agreement
for each respective oil and gas property in which the Partnership has
an interest, the operator is paid an amount for administrative
overhead attributable to operating such properties, with such amounts
to Southwest Royalties, Inc. as operator approximating $53,500,
$55,400 and $56,800 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and
2001, respectively. The amounts for administrative overhead
attributable to operating the partnership properties have been
deducted from gross oil and gas revenues in the determination of net
profit interest. 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.
Southwest Royalties, Inc., the Managing General Partner, was paid
$34,800 in 2003, 2002 and 2001, as an administrative fee for indirect
general and administrative overhead expenses. The administrative fees
are included in general and administrative expense on the statement of
operations.
Receivables from Southwest Royalties, Inc., the Managing General
Partner, of approximately $33,098 and $32,324 are from oil and gas
production, net of lease operating costs and production taxes, as of
December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
8. 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 95% of the Partnership's total oil and gas
production during 2003: Sid Richardson Energy Services for 44%,
Navajo Refining Company, Inc. for 39% and Duke Energy for 12%. Two
purchasers accounted for 82% of the Partnership's total oil and gas
production during 2002: Sid Richardson Energy Services for 42% and
Navajo Refining Company for 40%. Three purchasers accounted for 93%
of the Partnership's total oil and gas production during 2001: Sid
Richardson Energy Services for 52%, Navajo Refining Company for 31%
and Duke Energy Field Services for 10%. All purchasers of the
Partnership's oil and gas production are unrelated third parties. In
the event any of these purchasers were to discontinue purchasing the
Partnership's production, the Managing General Partner believes that a
substitute purchaser or purchasers could be located without 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.
9. Subsequent Event
Subsequent to December 31, 2003, the Managing General Partner
announced that its Board of Directors had decided to explore a merger
or sale of the stock of the Company. The Board formed a Special
Committee of independent directors to oversee the sale process. The
Special Committee retained independent financial and legal advisors to
work closely with management to implement the sale process.
On May 3, 2004, the Managing General Partner entered into a cash
merger agreement to sell all of its stock to Clayton Williams Energy,
Inc. The cash merger price is being negotiated, but is expected to be
approximately $45 per share. The transaction, which is subject to
approval by the Managing General Partner's shareholders, is expected
to close no later than May 21, 2004.

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.

10. Estimated Oil and Gas Reserves (unaudited) - continued
Oil price adjustments were made in the individual evaluations to
reflect oil quality, gathering and transportation costs. The results
of the reserve report as of January 1, 2004, 2003 and 2002 are an
average price of $30.02, $28.59 and $17.10 per barrel, respectively.
Gas price adjustments were made in the individual evaluations to
reflect BTU content, gathering and transportation costs and gas
processing and shrinkage. The results of the reserve report as of
January 1, 2004, 2003 and 2002 are an average price of $5.73, $4.46
and $2.22 per Mcf, respectively.
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
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.

believes that the Partnership's existing internal control procedures and
current business practices are adequate to promote ethical conduct and to
deter wrongdoing on the part of these executives. The Managing General
Partner of the Partnership intends to implement during 2004 a code of
ethics that will apply to these executives. In accordance with applicable
SEC rules, the code of ethics will be made publicly available.

10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder.

solely by Southwest. The executive officers, however, may occasionally
perform administrative duties for the Partnership but receive no additional
compensation for this work.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
and Related Stockholder Matters
There are no limited partners who own of record, or are known by the
Managing General Partner to beneficially own, more than five percent of the
Partnership's limited partnership interests.

In 2003, the Managing General Partner received $34,800 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 $53,500 for administrative overhead
attributable to operating such properties during 2003.
The terms of the above transactions are similar to ones, which would have
been obtained through arm's length negotiations with unaffiliated third
parties.
