COVID-19	6. COVID-19 In March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic and, as a result, consumer demand of oil decreased due to governments putting in place new travel restrictions to try to curtail the spread of the coronavirus. Also, increases in oil production by Russia and OPEC, particularly Saudi Arabia, caused an increase in supply. These led to a substantial decrease in oil prices and an increasingly volatile market. However, during November and December of 2020 oil prices began to increase and continued to rise during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Declines in oil and natural gas prices affect the Partnership’s revenues and reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that the Partnership can produce economically. The Partnership has no planned drilling activity. If oil or natural gas prices decline, the Partnership may be required to record additional oil and natural gas property write-downs and there may be a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s results of future operations, financial position, liquidity, and partner distributions. Management is actively monitoring the global situation and the impact on the Partnership’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, industry, and workforce.
