~~Item~~Effective ~~8.01. Other~~as of December 29, 2011, Petroleum Development Corporation (dba PDC Energy), a Nevada corporation ~~Events~~(“PDC”), in its capacity as managing general partner of PDC 2000-D Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) and in accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership, has changed the Partnership’s name to “Colorado 2000D Limited Partnership.”

~~The~~A ~~Registrant~~certificate ~~has determined that the filing~~ of ~~its~~amendment ~~Form 10-Q quarterly report for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 will be delayed~~ to ~~allow~~ the ~~Registrant and its independent~~ ~~registered~~certificate ~~public~~of ~~accounting~~limited ~~firm,~~partnership ~~KPMG LLP, to complete a comprehensive review~~ of the ~~Registrant's~~Partnership ~~derivative accounting under Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"~~ (~~"FAS 133"). The~~the ~~Registrant~~“Certificate ~~uses derivative instruments as a means~~ of ~~reducing financial~~Amendment”) ~~exposure~~ to ~~fluctuating~~change ~~oil and gas prices. Changes in~~ the ~~fair value~~Partnership’s ofname ~~derivatives classified as cash flow hedges from period~~ to ~~period~~“Colorado ~~are included~~2000D asLimited ~~increases~~Partnership” ~~and~~became ~~decreases~~effective toon ~~Accumulated~~December 29, ~~Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") under FAS 133~~2011. ~~This~~ ~~hedge accounting treatment is allowed for~~On ~~certain~~December 29, ~~derivatives~~2011, ~~including~~ the ~~types~~Limited ofPartnership ~~derivatives~~Agreement ~~used~~of by the ~~Registrant to~~Partnership ~~reduce~~was ~~exposure~~amended to ~~changes~~reflect ~~in oil and gas prices associated with~~ the ~~sale~~name ~~of oil~~change ~~and~~(such ~~gas production. In order to qualify for that treatment~~amendment, ~~specific standards~~the ~~and~~“Partnership ~~documentation~~Agreement ~~requirements must be met~~Amendment”). ~~Based~~ onThe ~~its evaluation~~foregoing todescriptions ~~date, Petroleum Development Corporation ("PDC"), the managing general partner~~ of the ~~Registrant,~~Certificate ~~believes that certain~~ of ~~the Registrant's~~Amendment ~~derivative~~and ~~positions~~Partnership ~~which~~Agreement ~~have~~Amendment ~~been accounted for as hedges~~ do not ~~qualify~~purport ~~for hedge~~to ~~accounting~~be ~~treatment. To~~complete ~~the~~and ~~extent~~are ~~that~~subject ~~this determination is correct~~to, ~~changes~~and qualified in ~~the~~their ~~fair~~entirety ~~value~~by, of the ~~derivatives~~full ~~will~~text ~~be required to be expensed or charged to revenue during the period~~ of the ~~change.

~~As a part of its preparation of the Registrant's second quarter financial statements, the Registrant undertook a review of its accounting for oil and gas derivatives~~Item 9. ~~The~~01 ~~Registrant~~Financial ~~believed~~Statements ~~that its longstanding derivative accounting treatment was permitted under FAS 133. However, following discussions with KPMG~~ and after a review of the applicable derivative accounting rules, the Registrant's accounting policies and documentation of the Registrant's derivative accounting records, PDC determined that certain of the Registrant's derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting under FAS 133Exhibits.

~~The~~(d) primary effect of a change in classification of the derivative instrument will be the inclusion of any increases or decreases in the fair value of non-terminated derivative instruments in the calculation of the Registrant's net income for the period in which the increases or decreases in the fair value occur. Under the previous accounting treatment increases and decreases in the fair values of continuing derivative instruments were recorded in AOCI, and did not increase or decrease the net income for the period.Exhibits

At this time, the Registrant anticipates that it could require as much as four to six weeks to complete the evaluation of the Registrant's derivatives, to determine the impact on the Registrant's financial statements, and to allow KPMG to complete any required review of the Registrant's financial statements. Until the evaluation has been completed, the Registrant is unable to determine whether or not the impact of the review will have a material effect upon the Registrant's net income.
