~~ITEM~~Explanatory ~~1. BUSINESS.~~Note to This Comprehensive Annual Report

~~General~~PDC 2003-D Limited Partnership (the “Partnership” or the “Registrant”), which was funded and commenced operations on December 15, 2003, filed a Comprehensive Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 on October 8, 2010. The report included condensed quarterly unaudited financial statements for each of the applicable quarters in 2007, 2006 and 2005.

The Partnership has not filed Form 10-Qs for the quarterly periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2010.

~~Since~~Special ~~the commencement~~Note ofRegarding ~~operations~~Forward-Looking on December 15, 2003, the Partnership has been engaged in onshore, domestic oil and natural gas exploration exclusively in the Rocky Mountain Region. A total of 10 limited partners contributed initial capital of $290,000; a total of 1,113 additional general partners contributed initial capital of $34,706,823; and PDC (Managing General Partner) contributed $7,611,809 in capital as a participant in accordance with contribution provisions of the Limited Partnership Agreement (the Agreement). During 2004, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, all Additional General Partners were converted to Limited Partners.Statements

All statements other than statements of historical facts included in and incorporated by reference into this report are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates” and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements herein, which include statements of estimated natural gas and oil production and reserves, drilling plans, future cash flows, anticipated liquidity, anticipated capital expenditures and the Managing General Partner’s strategies, plans and objectives. However, these words are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements herein. Although forward-looking statements contained in this report reflect the Managing General Partner’s good faith judgment, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known to the Managing General Partner. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, including risks and uncertainties incidental to the development, production and marketing of natural gas and oil, and actual outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements include, but are not limited to:

The effects of such imports could adversely impact the market for domestic oil and natural gas. All oil and gas is sold under contracts based~~ on ~~market sensitive indexes that vary from month to month. No fixed~~ price contracts are in place. The Partnership sold oil and natural gas to several entities of which three customers accounted for 41.3%, 36.0% and 22.7% of the Partnership's total oil and natural gas sales for year ended December 31, 2004.;

During that time period, the Managing General Partner has utilized~~ and ~~continues~~ toseverity ~~utilize commodity based derivative instruments as hedges to manage a portion~~ of ~~the~~environmental ~~Partnership's~~events ~~exposure to price volatility stemming from natural gas production. These instruments consist of NYMEX-traded natural gas futures~~ and ~~option~~governmental ~~contracts~~responses for eastern Colorado production, and CIG (Colorado Interstate Gas Index)-based contracts for other Colorado production and NYMEX traded oil futures and option contracts for Colorado oil production. The contracts hedge committed and anticipated natural gas sales, generally forecasted to ~~occur within~~ the next two year period.

The Partnership believes it has complied in all material respects with applicable state regulations. The Partnership estimates it has spent approximately $210,560 and $20,000 in 2004 and 2003 respectively to comply with federal and state regulations.

~~Federal~~Further, ~~Regulations~~the Partnership urges the reader to carefully review and consider the cautionary statements made in this report and the Partnership’s other filings with the SEC and public disclosures. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Other than as required under the securities laws, the Partnership undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance occurring after the date of this report or currently unknown facts or conditions or the occurrence of unanticipated events.

~~Regulation~~Item ~~of Liquid Hydrocarbons~~1. ~~Liquid~~ hydrocarbons (including crude oil and natural gas liquids) were subject to federal price and allocation controls until January 1981 when controls were effectively eliminated by executive order of the President. As a result, to the extent the Partnership sells oil produced from its properties, those sales are at unregulated market prices.Business

~~Production~~PDC Sponsored Drilling Program Acquisition Plan

~~See~~PDC, ~~"Management'~~the managing general partner of various public limited partnerships, has disclosed its intention to pursue the acquisition, within the next three years beginning in the fall of 2010, of the remaining third-party Investor Partner interests in the limited partnerships which PDC has sponsored, including PDC 2003-D Limited Partnership. (For additional information regarding PDC’s ~~Discussion~~intention to pursue acquisition of PDC sponsored partnerships, refer to Regulation FD disclosure included in Items 2.02 and/or ~~Analysis"~~7.01 ~~on page~~of 5PDC’s ~~for~~Form 8-Ks dated March 4, 2010, June 9, 2010 and July 15, 2010, which information shall not, by reason of this reference, be deemed to be incorporated by reference in, or otherwise be deemed to be part of, this report.) Under the Acquisition Plan, any offer will be subject to the terms and conditions of a to be proposed merger agreement wherein the Partnership ~~production~~will merge into PDC. The transaction will also be subject to PDC having sufficient available capital and the approval by a majority of the Investor Partners’ interests, excluding partnership interest owned by PDC, of each respective limited partnership. Should a purchase offer from PDC be proposed, approved by a majority of the Partnerships’ unaffiliated limited partners, and consummated, the purchase transaction would result in a liquidating cash distribution to all partners and termination of the existence of the Partnership. There is no assurance that any such acquisition will occur.

~~Reserves~~Business Strategy

~~See~~The ~~"Footnote~~primary 8"objective toof the Partnership's ~~financial statements~~is ~~for~~the ~~information~~profitable ~~related~~operation toof ~~the~~developed ~~Partnership's~~Colorado natural gas and oil properties and the appropriate allocation of cash proceeds, costs and tax benefits, based on the terms of the Agreement, among Partnership investors. The Partnership operates in one business segment, natural gas ~~reserves~~and oil sales.

~~Productive~~Initial ~~Wells~~Development

AsThe ~~outlined~~Partnership’s Denver-Julesburg (“DJ”) Basin wells are situated in the ~~above table~~Wattenberg Field, located north and east of Denver, Colorado. Of the Partnership’s ~~has~~32 awells ~~total~~drilled in the Wattenberg Field, 29 wells were initially completed and currently produce from the Codell formation. One of 42these ~~gross~~Codell ~~productive~~formation wells ~~(41~~was also completed and produces from the shallower Niobrara formation.15 ~~net~~ The remaining productive Wattenberg Field well was initially completed and currently produces from the deeper J-Sand formation. The Partnership drilled two Wattenberg Field wells) ~~all~~that oftargeted ~~which~~the J-Sands that were subsequently evaluated as developmental dry holes. The Partnership’s Piceance Basin wells are ~~located~~situated in the Grand Valley Field, located near the western border of Colorado. The Mesa Verde formation, where natural gas is the predominant hydrocarbon produced, is the primary producing zone for the Partnership’s 13 Grand Valley Field wells. The typical well production profile for wells in both the Wattenberg and Grand Valley fields displays an initial high production rate and relatively rapid decline in this production rate in the first few years, followed by years of relatively lower declines.

AFuture ~~"productive well"~~Development is a well producing, or capable of producing, oil and gas in commercial quantities. For purposes of the above table, a "gross well" is one in which the Partnership has a working interest and a "net well" is a gross well multiplied by the Partnership's working interest to which it is entitled under its drilling agreement.Opportunities

Additional Codell formation development in the Codell formation of Wattenberg Field wells, which may provide for additional reserve development and natural gas and oil production, is expected to consist of either the J-Sand formation well’s initial fracture treatment and completion of the upper Codell formation sands, or the Codell formation wells’ recompletion of each well’s current production zone. While Codell formation well recompletions generally occur five to ten years after initial well drilling, the initial Codell formation completion of the J-Sand well may occur at any time that funding availability and favorable economics provide so that well resources are optimally recovered. Additional Codell formation development would generally be expected to occur based on a favorable general economic environment and commodity price outlook. The Managing General Partner has the authority to determine whether to recomplete any or all additional Codell formation development activities and to determine the timing of any recompletions. The timing of the development activities can be affected by the desire to optimize the economic return by further developing well resources when commodity prices are at levels to obtain the highest rate of return to the Partnership. The extent and timing of the Partnership’s Wattenberg Field additional Codell formation development will be subject to Partnership’s cash availability since borrowing is not permitted. The Managing General Partner may retain Partnership distributable cash flows, if needed, so that Partnership operations may fully develop the Partnership’s wells; but if full or partial development of the Partnership’s wells proves commercially unsuccessful, a reduction in cash distributions may result.

- 3 -

Index

A recompletion consists of a second fracture treatment in the same formation originally fractured in the initial completion. PDC and other producers have found that the recompletions generally increase the production rate and recoverable reserves of the wells. Historically, the production resulting from PDC’s Codell recompletions has been above the modeled economics; however, all recompletions have not been economically successful and future recompletions may not be economically successful. The cost of recompleting a well producing from the Codell formation, or the initial completion of the J-Sand well’s undeveloped Codell formation, is generally one third of the cost of a new well. If the recompletion work is performed, PDC will charge the Partnership for the direct costs of recompletions, and the Investor Partners and the Managing General Partner will each pay their proportionate share of costs based on the operating costs sharing ratios of the Partnership from funds retained by the Managing General Partner from distributable cash flows.

Well Development Plan

The Managing General Partner has developed a plan to initiate the Wattenberg Field wells’ additional Codell development activities during 2011. In October 2010, the Managing General Partner, will begin to withhold funds from distributable cash flows of the Partnership resulting from both current production. The funds retained that are necessary for the Partnership to pay for the additional Codell formation development costs will materially reduce, up to 100%, distributable cash flows for a period of time not to exceed five years. If any or all of the Partnership’s Wattenberg wells are not fully developed, the Partnership will experience a reduction in proved reserves currently assigned to these wells. The Managing General Partner believes that estimated distributable cash flows during the next five years will be sufficient to fund the initial completion of the Codell formation in the J-Sand well and recompletion of wells currently producing from the Codell formation. The Managing General Partner believes that, based on projected additional Codell formation development costs and projected cash withholding, all Partnership development activities will be completed within a five year period. Current estimated costs for the J-Sands well’s initial Codell formation completion and the currently producing Codell formation wells’ recompletion are between $150,000 and $200,000 per well. This Partnership potentially has 28 additional Codell formation development opportunities. Total withholding for these activities from the Partnership’s distributable cash flows is estimated to be between $4.2 million and $5.6 million. The Managing General Partner will re-evaluate the feasibility of commencing these additional Codell formation development activities based on engineering data and a favorable commodity price environment in order to maximize the financial benefit of the development.

Drilling and Other Development Activities

The Partnership’s properties (the “Properties”) consist of a working interest in the well bore in each well drilled by the Partnership. The Partnership drilled 45 development wells (42.5 net) (the number of gross wells multiplied by the working interest in the wells owned by the Partnership) during drilling operations that began immediately after funding and concluded in January 2006 when the last of the Partnership’s 43 productive wells were connected to sales and gathering lines. The Partnership drilled two wells that were subsequently evaluated as developmental dry holes. No exploratory drilling activity was conducted on behalf of the Partnership. The 45 wells discussed above are the only wells to be drilled by the Partnership since all of the funds raised in the Partnership offering have been expended. In accordance with the D&O Agreement, the Partnership paid its proportionate share of the cost of drilling and completing each well as follows:

●

The leasehold cost of the prospect;

●

The intangible well costs for each well completed and placed in production; and

●

The tangible costs of drilling and completing the partnership wells and of gathering pipelines necessary to connect the well to the nearest appropriate sales point or delivery point.

The Partnership’s business plan going forward, including the Well Recompletion Plan, is to produce and sell the natural gas and oil from the Partnership’s wells, and to make distributions to the partners as outlined in the Partnership’s cash distribution policy, discussed in Item 5, Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities. Partnership cash distributions may be withheld pursuant to the Well Recompletion Plan.

Investigations are generally made, including in most cases receiving a title opinion of legal counsel, before commencement of drilling operations. A thorough examination of title has been made with respect to all of the Partnership's producing properties and the Partnership believes that it has generally satisfactory title to such properties.Reserves

The Partnership’s gas and oil reserves are located in the United States. The Partnership’s 2009 and 2008 reserve estimates were prepared with respect to reserve categorization, using the definitions then in effect during each year, for proved reserves set forth in SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10(a), as subsequently interpreted by the SEC’s staff interpretations and guidance. The SEC’s Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting final rule, adopted by the Partnership as of December 31, 2009, prohibited retroactive application of the new oil and gas industry disclosure standards during earlier reporting years. The Managing General Partner established a comprehensive process that governs the determination and reporting of the Partnership’s proved reserves. As part of the Managing General Partner’s internal control process, the Partnership’s reserves are reviewed annually by a team composed of PDC reservoir engineers, geologists and accounting personnel for adherence to SEC guidelines through a detailed review of land records, available geological and reservoir data as well as production performance data. The review includes, but is not limited to, confirmation that reserve estimates (1) include all properties owned; (2) are based on proper working and net revenue interests; and (3) reflect reasonable cost estimates and field performance. The internal team compiles the reviewed data and forwards the data to an independent consulting firm engaged to estimate the Partnership’s reserves.

~~ITEM~~The 3Partnership utilized the services of an independent petroleum engineer, Ryder Scott Company, L. ~~LEGAL~~P. ~~PROCEEDINGS~~(Ryder Scott), to estimate the Partnership’s 2009 and 2008 natural gas and oil reserves. When preparing the Partnership’s reserve estimates, the independent engineer did not independently verify the accuracy and completeness of information and data furnished by the Managing General Partner with respect to ownership interests, natural gas and oil production, well test data, historical costs of operations and development, product prices, or agreements relating to current and future operations of properties and sales of production. The independent petroleum engineer prepared an estimate of the Partnership’s reserves in conjunction with an ongoing review by the Managing General Partner’s engineers. A final comparison of data was performed to assure that the reserve estimates were complete and reasonable. The final independent petroleum engineer’s estimated reserve report was reviewed and approved by the Managing General Partner’s engineering staff and management.

Proved reserves are those quantities of natural gas and oil, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations. These reserve quantities are projected to be producible prior to the operating contract’s expiration date, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. Estimates of proved reserves may change, either positively or negatively, as additional information becomes available and as contractual, economic and political conditions change. The Partnership’s net proved reserve estimates have been adjusted as necessary to reflect all contractual agreements, royalty obligations and interests owned by others at the time of the estimate. The Partnership’s two categories of proved reserves are as follows:

●

Proved developed reserves are those natural gas and oil quantities expected to be recovered from currently producing zones under the continuation of present operating methods.

●

Proved undeveloped reserves, or PUDs, are those reserves expected to be recovered from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

The table below presents information as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, regarding the Partnership’s proved reserves by production field, as estimated by Ryder Scott and reviewed and approved by the Managing General Partner. Reserves cannot be measured exactly, because reserve estimates involve judgment. The estimates are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information gained from reservoir performance data, new geological and geophysical data and economic changes. The Partnership’s estimated proved undeveloped reserves consist entirely of reserves attributable to the Wattenberg Field’s future initial Codell formation completion of the one productive J-Sand well and future recompletions of 27 of the Partnership’s currently producing Codell formation wells. (See Item 1, Business−Business Strategy, Well Development Plan on page 3) For additional information regarding the Partnership’s natural gas and oil reserves see the Supplemental Natural Gas and Oil Information – Unaudited, Net Proved Natural Gas and Oil Reserves that accompanies the financial statements included in this Annual Report. There were no proved undeveloped reserves developed in 2008 or 2009. The changes in these reserves were due to the changes in prices used to value reserves.

In 2009, the SEC published its final rule regarding the modernization of natural gas and oil reporting, which changed the December 31, 2009 valuation price for in-ground natural gas and oil resources, used to determine economically producible natural gas and oil reserve quantities, from the year-end single-day pricing method that was used to value the Partnership’s reserves at December 31, 2008 and earlier, to a method which applies the 12-month average of the first-day-of-the-month price during each month of 2009. An economically producible quantity is one where the revenue provided by its sale is reasonably likely to exceed the cost to deliver that quantity to market. For more information regarding the SEC’s Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting adopted by the Partnership at December 31, 2009, see Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations−Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates: Recent Accounting Standards.

Operations

General. When Partnership wells were “completed” (i.e., drilled, fractured or stimulated, and all surface production equipment and pipeline facilities necessary to produce the well were installed) production operations commenced on each well. All Partnership wells are complete, and production operations are currently being conducted with regard to each of the Partnership’s productive wells.

Index

PDC, in accordance with the D&O Agreement, is the named operator of record of the Partnership’s wells and may, in certain circumstances, provide equipment and supplies, perform salt water disposal services and other services for the Partnership. Generally, equipment and services are sold to the Partnership at the lower of cost or competitive prices in the area of operations. The Partnership’s share of production revenue from a given well is burdened by and subject to, royalties and overriding royalties, monthly operating charges, taxes and other operating costs. It is PDC’s practice to deduct operating expenses from the production revenue for the corresponding period. In instances when distributable cash flows are insufficient to make full payment, PDC defers the collection of operating expenses until such time as scheduled expenses may be offset against future Partnership distributable cash flows. In such instances, the Partnership records a liability to PDC.

The Partnership’s operations are concentrated in the Rocky Mountain Region where weather conditions and time periods reserved by leasehold restrictions can exist and limit operational capabilities for as long as six months. Operational constraint challenges such as surface equipment freezing can limit production volumes. Increased competition for oil field equipment, services, supplies and qualified personnel and wildlife habitat protection periods may also adversely affect profitability and reduce cash distributions to the Investor Partners.

The following table presents the Partnership’s productive wells by operating field as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. Productive wells consist of producing wells and wells capable of producing natural gas and oil in commercial quantities.

The Partnership’s operating areas are profiled as follows:

DJ Basin, Wattenberg Field, Weld County, Colorado. Located north and east of Denver, Colorado, the Partnership’s wells in this field exhibit production histories typical for other wells located in this field with an initial high production rate and relatively rapid decline, followed by years of relatively lower rates of decline and production levels. Although natural gas is the primary hydrocarbon produced, many wells also produce oil. Of the Partnership’s 32 wells drilled in the Wattenberg Field, 29 wells were initially completed and currently produce from the Codell formation. One of these Codell formation wells was also completed and produces from the shallower Niobrara formation. The remaining productive Wattenberg Field well was initially completed and currently produces from the deeper J-Sand formation. The Partnership drilled two Wattenberg Field wells that targeted the J-Sands that were subsequently evaluated as developmental dry holes. The Partnership’s development wells in this area are generally 7,000 to 8,000 feet in depth. Well spacing ranges from 20 to 40 acres per well.

Piceance Basin, Grand Valley Field, Garfield County, Colorado. Located near the western border of Colorado, the Partnership’s 13 wells in this field have also exhibited production histories typical for other wells located in this field with an initial high production rate and relatively rapid decline, followed by years of relatively lower rates of decline and production levels. These wells generally produce natural gas along with small quantities of oil. The majority of the Partnership’s development wells drilled in the area were drilled directionally from multi-well pads ranging from two to eight or more wells per drilling pad. The primary drilling targets were multiple sandstone reservoirs in the Mesa Verde formation and well depth ranges from 7,000 to 9,500 feet. Well spacing is approximately 10 acres per well.

Index

Sale of Production. In accordance with the D&O Agreement, PDC markets the natural gas produced from the Partnership’s wells primarily to commercial end users, interstate or intrastate pipelines or local utilities on a competitive basis, under the available terms and prices, generally under contracts with indexed monthly pricing provisions. PDC does not charge an additional fee for the marketing of the natural gas and oil because these services are covered by the monthly well operating charge. This monthly charge is more fully described in the following Item 1, Business−Reliance on the Managing General Partner, Provisions of the D&O Agreement. The Managing General Partner believes these contract pricing provisions are customary for the industry. The sales price for natural gas may include revenue from the recovery of propane and butane in the gas stream, as well as a premium for the typical high-energy content of the natural gas. The Partnership’s Wattenberg Field and, to a lesser extent, the Grand Valley Field wells also produce oil in addition to natural gas. The Managing General Partner is currently able to sell, at or near the Partnership’s wells, all of the Partnership’s oil production under a purchase contract with a regional petroleum refiner containing monthly pricing provisions. The Partnership does not refine any of its oil production.

Commodity Price Risk Management. The Partnership’s production sold in the spot market and under market index contracts is subject to market price fluctuations. PDC, as Managing General Partner on behalf of the Partnership through the D&O Agreement, uses derivative instruments for a portion of the Partnership’s committed and anticipated natural gas and oil sales to achieve a more predictable cash flow and to reduce exposure to fluctuations in natural gas and oil commodity prices. Since the Partnership manages price risk on only a portion of its future estimated production, future production not covered by derivatives is subject to the full fluctuation of market pricing. The Partnership’s policies prohibit the use of derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes and permit utilization of derivatives only if there is an underlying physical position. For more information on the Partnership’s derivative financial instruments, see Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations−Commodity Price Risk Management, Net and Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Derivative financial instruments employed for risk management generally consist of “collars,” “swaps” and “basis swaps” on the possible range of prices realized for the sale of natural gas and oil and are New York Mercantile Exchange, or NYMEX-traded and Colorado Interstate Gas Index, or CIG, based contracts for Colorado natural gas and oil production. PDC, as Managing General Partner of the Partnership, enters into derivative transactions on behalf of the Partnership in the same manner in which it enters into transactions for itself.

●

Collars contain a fixed floor price (put) and ceiling price (call). If the index price falls below the fixed put strike price, PDC, as Managing General Partner, receives the market price from the purchaser and receives the difference between the put strike price and index price from the counterparty. If the index price exceeds the fixed call strike price, PDC, as Managing General Partner, receives the market price from the purchaser and pays the difference between the call strike price and index price to the counterparty. If the index price is between the put and call strike price, no payments are due to or from the counterparty.

●

Swaps are arrangements that guarantee a fixed price. If the index price is below the fixed contract price, PDC, as Managing General Partner, receives the market price from the purchaser and receives the difference between the index price and the fixed contract price from the counterparty. If the index price is above the fixed contract price, PDC, as Managing General Partner, receives the market price from the purchaser and pays the difference between the index price and the fixed contract price to the counterparty. If the index price and contract price are the same, no payment is due to or from the counterparty.

●

Basis protection swaps are arrangements that guarantee a price differential for natural gas from a specified delivery point. For CIG basis protection swaps, which traditionally have negative differentials to NYMEX, PDC, as Managing General Partner, receives a payment from the counterparty if the price differential is greater than the stated terms of the contract and pays the counterparty if the price differential is less than the stated terms of the contract. If the index price and contract price are the same, no payment is due to or from the counterparty.

Index

Historically, the Partnership participated on a pro-rata basis, in all derivative transactions entered into by the Managing General Partner in a given area. The Partnership’s allocation of derivative positions was based on the Partnership’s percentage of estimated production to total estimated production from a given area on a monthly basis. The transactions were on a production month basis. Prior to September 30, 2008, as estimated future production volumes increased due to continued drilling and wells placed into production, the allocation of derivative positions between PDC’s corporate interests and the Partnership, changed on a pro-rata basis. Effective September 30, 2008, PDC changed the allocations procedure whereby the allocation of derivative positions at that date between PDC and each partnership was set at a fixed quantity. For positions entered into subsequent to September 30, 2008, specific designations of the quantities between the Managing General Partner’s corporate interests and each sponsored drilling partnership, including this Partnership, were allocated and fixed at the time the positions were entered into based on estimated future production levels and other factors. Therefore, the Managing General Partner and the sponsored drilling Partnership may not participate on a pro-rata basis or at all in derivative transactions initiated by the Managing General Partner.

All derivative assets and liabilities are recorded on the balance sheets at fair value. PDC, as Managing General Partner, has elected not to formally designate any of the Partnership’s derivative instruments as hedging instruments and therefore, the Partnership does not use hedge accounting. Accordingly, the Partnership is required to recognize changes in the fair value of the Partnership’s derivative instruments in earnings each reporting period and therefore, has the potential for significant earnings volatility. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments related to the Partnership’s natural gas and oil sales are recorded in the line caption “Commodity price risk management, net” in the Partnership’s statements of operations. For more information regarding the Partnership’s derivative financial instruments and their accounting, see Note 4, Fair Value Measurements and Note 5, Derivative Financial Instruments to the Partnership’s accompanying financial statements included in this report.

Delivery Commitments

On behalf of the Partnership, other sponsored drilling program partnerships and for its own corporate account, PDC has entered into third-party sales and processing agreements that generally contain indexed monthly pricing provisions. Although the Partnership is not committed to deliver any fixed and determinable quantities of natural gas or oil under the terms of these agreements, the dedication of the Partnership’s future production is as follows:

●

Wattenberg Field contractual natural gas processing and sales dedications are multi-year and extend throughout the well’s economic life.

●

Grand Valley Field contractual natural gas processing and firm sales dedications extend through 2022 and contract provides the seller’s right to convert to a gathering and gas processing contract, solely.

●

Oil sales dedication is made under a 2-year master agreement with negotiated extensions.

Delivery to Market

The Partnership relies on PDC owned or third-party gathering and transmission pipelines to transport natural gas production volumes to customers. In general, the Partnership has been, and expects to continue to be able to, produce and sell natural gas from Partnership wells without significant curtailment. The Partnership does experience limited curtailments from time to time due to pipeline maintenance and operating issues of the pipeline operators. The Partnership experienced an approximate 10% to 15% curtailment of production volumes in the Piceance Basin due to limited compression and pipeline capacity throughout most of the fourth quarter in 2008. This interruption, due to third party infrastructure, was remediated in early 2009.

Seasonal curtailment typically occurs during July and August as a result of high atmospheric temperatures which reduce compressor efficiency. This reduction in production typically amounts to less than five percent of normal monthly production. The cost, timing and availability of gathering pipeline connections and service varies from area to area, well to well, and over time. Although the Rockies Region has experienced a natural gas transport capacity shortage in the past several years, several key projects placed in-service during the past two years, including the completion of the 1,679-mile Rockies Express Pipeline which extends from Colorado to eastern Ohio and White River Header Pipeline Project in Colorado, have significantly increased natural gas deliverability to intra-regional urban areas as well as inter-regionally, especially to markets in the North Central and Northeastern U.S. as well as Southern California. Transmission capacity is expected to increase in the future based on projects scheduled before various regulatory agencies, but may be delayed due to the recent economic downturn which has weakened U.S. natural gas and oil demand and disrupted global credit markets, which third-party entities access for pipeline expansion financing.

Index

The Partnership oil production is stored in tanks at or near the location of the Partnership’s wells for routine pickup by oil transport trucks for direct delivery to regional refineries or oil pipeline interconnects for redelivery to those refineries. The cost of trucking or transporting the oil to market affects the price the Partnership ultimately receives for the oil.

Competitive Market Position

Competition is high among persons and companies involved in the exploration and production of natural gas and oil. Because there are thousands of natural gas and oil companies in the United States, the national supply of natural gas, including the Rockies Region which currently supplies approximately 22% of the U.S. natural gas production annually, is diversified. The Partnership believes that the drilling and production capabilities and the experience of the Managing General Partner’s management and professional staff generally enables the Partnership to compete effectively. During the three years preceding 2008, the industry generally experienced increasingly stronger demand for drilling services and supplies that resulted in year-to-year operating cost increases. This trend continued through the first three quarters of the 2008. As a result of the well-publicized turmoil in the financial and commodity markets in late 2008, resultant industry slowdown throughout 2009 and the Managing General Partner’s cost reduction initiatives, the Partnership experienced overall reductions in its 2009 natural gas and oil production costs. For more information on natural gas and oil pricing during 2009 and 2008, see Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations−Natural Gas and Oil Production Costs. The Partnership believes that it can compete effectively in its area of operations. Nevertheless, the Partnership’s results of operations and distributable cash flows could be materially adversely affected by the uncertainty in ascertaining the ultimate depth and duration of the current economic environment.

As a result of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, and Congressional deregulation of natural gas and oil prices in the past, prices are generally determined by competitive supply-and-demand market forces. The marketing of natural gas and oil produced by the Partnership is affected by a number of factors, some of which are beyond the Partnership’s control and the exact effect of which cannot be accurately predicted. These factors include the volume and prices of crude oil imports, the availability and cost of adequate natural gas and oil pipeline and other transportation facilities, the marketing of competitive fuels, such as coal, nuclear and renewable fuel energy and other matters affecting the availability of a ready market, such as fluctuating supply and demand. Among other factors, the supply and demand balance of crude natural gas and oil in world markets combined with supply and demand balance within and across U.S. geographical regions may have caused significant variations in the prices of these traditional hydrocarbon products over recent years.

The Partnership’s fields are crossed by natural gas pipelines belonging to DCP Midstream LP (“DCP”), Williams Production, RMT (“Williams”) and others. These companies have all traditionally purchased substantial portions of their natural gas supply from Colorado producers. The gas is sold at negotiated prices based upon a number of factors, including the quality of the gas, well pressure, estimated remaining reserves, prevailing supply conditions and any applicable price regulations promulgated by the FERC. FERC natural gas pipeline open-access initiatives implemented during the mid-1980’s to mid-1990’s, mandated that interstate gas pipeline companies separate their merchant activities from their transportation activities and thus release, on both a short and a long-term basis, available transmission system capacity. Thus, local distribution companies have taken an increasingly active role in acquiring their own natural gas supplies. Consequently, the Managing General Partner believes interstate transmission pipelines and local distribution companies (utilities) are buying natural gas directly from natural gas producers and marketers, and retail unbundling efforts are causing many end-users to buy their own reserves. In general, the Partnership has been and expects to continue to be able to produce and sell natural gas and oil from the Partnership’s wells at locally competitive prices.

The Partnership’s secondary hydrocarbon product is oil. In contrast to U.S. natural gas pricing, which is determined more directly by North American supply-demand factors with some increasing role played by liquefied natural gas, or LNG, importation, crude oil pricing is subject to global supply-demand influences including the presence of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, whose members establish prices and production quotas for petroleum products of OPEC members from time to time. The Managing General Partner is unable to predict what effect, if any, future OPEC actions will have on the quantity of, or prices received for, natural gas and oil produced and sold from the Partnership’s wells.

- 12 -

Index

Colorado accounts for approximately 1% of the U.S.’s total annual domestic oil production and this production generally provides feedstock for Colorado’s two refineries located north of Denver and owned by Suncor Energy (USA) Inc. (“Suncor”). Rocky Mountain oil sales have traded at a discount compared to supplies available elsewhere in the U.S. due to an excess supply situation in the region that arose as a result of rising Canadian tar sand imports and lack of inter-regional export oil pipeline capacity to higher-oil demand regions. However, increased refining capacity near Denver has enabled local Colorado oil suppliers, including the Partnership, to receive pricing advantage over supplies located in less densely-populated northern Rocky Region areas.

Reliance on Managing General Partner

General. As provided by the Agreement, PDC, as Managing General Partner, has authority to manage the Partnership’s activities through the D&O Agreement, utilizing its best efforts to carry out the business of the Partnership in a prudent and business-like fashion. PDC has a fiduciary duty to exercise good faith and deal fairly with Investor Partners. PDC’s executive staff manages the affairs of the Partnership, while technical geosciences and petroleum engineering staff oversee the well drilling, completions, recompletions, and operations. PDC’s administrative staff controls the Partnership’s finances and makes distributions, apportions costs and revenues among wells and prepares Partnership reports, financial statements and filings presented to Investor Partners, tax agencies and the SEC, as required.

Provisions of the D&O Agreement. Under the terms of the D&O Agreement, the Partnership has authorized and extended to PDC the authority to manage the production operations of the natural gas and oil wells in which the Partnership owns an interest, including the initial drilling, testing, completion, and equipping of wells; subsequent additional Codell formation development, where economical, and ultimate evaluation for abandonment. Further, while the Partnership has the right to take in-kind and separately dispose of its share of all natural gas and oil produced from the Partnership’s wells. The Partnership designated PDC as its natural gas and oil production marketing agent and authorized PDC to enter into and bind the Partnership, under those agreements PDC deems in the best interest of the Partnership, in the sale of the Partnership’s natural gas and oil. Generally, PDC has limited liability to the Partnership for losses sustained or liabilities incurred, except as may result from the operator’s gross or willful negligence or misconduct. PDC may subcontract certain functions as operator for Partnership wells but retains responsibility for work performed by subcontractors. The D&O Agreement remains in force as long as any well or wells produce, or are capable of economic production, and for an additional period of 180 days from cessation of all production or until PDC is replaced as Managing General Partner as provided for in the D&O Agreement.

To the extent the Partnership has less than a 100% working interest in a well, Partnership obligations and liabilities are limited to its proportionate working interest share and thus, the Partnership paid only its proportionate share of total lease and development costs, pays only the Partnership’s proportionate share of operating costs, and receives its proportionate share of production subject only to royalties and overriding royalties.

Under the D&O Agreement, PDC provides all necessary labor, vehicles, supervision, management, accounting, and overhead services for normal production operations and may deduct from Partnership revenues a fixed monthly charge for these services. The charge for these operations and field supervision fees (referred to as “well tending fees”) for each producing well is based on competitive industry field rates which vary based on areas of operation. The well tending fees and administration fees may be adjusted annually to an amount equal to the rates initially established by the D&O Agreement multiplied by the then current average of the Oil and Gas Extraction Index and the Professional and Technical Services Index, as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, provided that the charge may not exceed the rate which would be charged by the comparable operators in the area of operations. This average is commonly referred to as the Accounting Procedure Wage Index Adjustment which is published annually by the Council of Petroleum Accountants Societies, or COPAS. These rates are reflective of similar costs incurred by comparable operators in the production field. PDC, in certain circumstances, has and may in the future, provide equipment or supplies, perform salt water disposal services or other services for the Partnership at the lesser of cost or competitive prices in the area of operations.

Insurance. The Partnership’s production operations involve a variety of operating risks, including but not limited to fire, explosions, blowouts, pipe failure, casing collapse and abnormally pressured formations which could result in injury, loss of life or suspension of operations, and environmental hazards such as natural gas leaks, ruptures and discharges of toxic gas which could result in environmental damage and clean-up obligations. PDC, in its capacity as operator, has purchased various insurance policies, including worker’s compensation, operator’s bodily injury liability and property damage liability insurance, employer’s liability insurance, automobile public liability insurance and operator’s umbrella liability insurance and intends to maintain these policies subject to PDC’s analysis of their premium costs, coverage and other factors. During drilling operations, the Managing General Partner maintained public liability insurance of not less than $10 million; however, PDC may at its sole discretion in other situations, increase or decrease policy limits, change types of insurance and name PDC and the Partnership, individually or together, parties to the insurance as deemed appropriate under the circumstances, which may vary materially. As operator of the Partnership’s wells, PDC requires its subcontractors to carry liability insurance coverage with respect to the subcontractors’ activities. PDC’s management, in its capacity as Managing General Partner, believes that in accordance with customary industry practice, adequate insurance, including insurance by PDC’s subcontractors, has been provided to the Partnership with coverage sufficient to protect the Investor Partners against the foreseeable risks of operation, drilling, additional Codell formation development and reworks and ongoing productions operations. However, there can be no assurance that this insurance will be adequate to cover all losses or exposure for liability and thus, the occurrence of a significant event not fully insured against, could materially adversely affect Partnership operations and financial condition. Furthermore, the Partnership is not insured against economic losses resulting from damage or destruction to third party property, such as the Rockies Express pipeline; such an event could result in significantly lower regional prices or the Partnership’s inability to deliver natural gas. As of the date of this filing, the Managing General Partner has no knowledge that such events have occurred.

Customers

PDC markets the natural gas and oil from Partnership wells in Colorado subject to market sensitive contracts, the price of which increases or decreases with market forces beyond control of the Partnership. Currently, PDC sells Partnership natural gas in the Piceance Basin to Williams Production RMT (“Williams”), which has an extensive gathering and transportation system in this Basin. In the Wattenberg Field, the gas is sold primarily to DCP Midstream LP (“DCP”), which gathers and processes the gas and liquefiable hydrocarbons produced. Natural gas produced in Colorado may be impacted by changes in market prices on a national level, as well as changes in the market for natural gas within the Rocky Mountain Region. Sales of natural gas from the Partnership’s wells to DCP and Williams are made on the spot market via open-access transportation arrangements through Williams or other pipelines and may be impacted by capacity interruptions on pipelines transporting natural gas out of the region.

The Partnership’s crude oil production is sold, at or near the Partnership’s wells under short-term purchase contracts at prices and in accordance with arrangements that are customary in the oil industry, primarily as feedstock for refineries currently owned by Suncor, which are located north of Denver, Colorado. Oil prices fluctuate not only with the general market for oil as may be indicated by changes in the NYMEX, but also due to changes in light-heavy crude oil supply and product demand-mix applicable to specific refining regions. Through December 31, 2008, PDC sold 100% of the crude oil from the Partnership’s wells to Teppco Crude Oil, LP (“Teppco”). Beginning January 1, 2009, Suncor became the Partnership’s primary oil purchaser.

Industry Regulation

While the prices of natural gas and oil are set by the market, other aspects of the Partnership’s business and the industry in general are heavily regulated. The following summary discussion of the regulation of the United States industry is not intended to constitute a complete discussion of the various statutes, rules, regulations and environmental orders to which the Partnership’s operations may be subject.

The availability of a ready market for natural gas and oil production depends on several factors beyond the Partnership’s control. These factors include regulation of production, federal and state regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control, the amount of natural gas and oil available for sale, the availability of adequate pipeline and other transportation and processing facilities and the marketing of competitive fuels. State and federal regulations generally are intended to protect consumers from unfair treatment and oppressive control, to reduce the risk to the public and workers from the drilling, completion, production and transportation of natural gas and oil, to prevent waste of natural gas and oil, to protect rights of owners in a common reservoir and to control contamination of the environment. Pipelines are subject to the jurisdiction of various federal, state and local agencies.

Index

Legislative proposals and proceedings that might affect the petroleum and natural gas industries occur frequently in Congress, FERC, state commissions, state legislatures, and the courts. These proposals involve, among other things, imposition of direct or indirect price limitations on natural gas production, expansion of drilling opportunities in areas that would compete with Partnership production, imposition of land use controls, landowners’ “rights” legislation, alternative fuel use requirements and tax incentives and other measures. The petroleum and natural gas industries historically have been very heavily regulated; therefore, there is no assurance that the less stringent regulatory approach recently pursued by FERC and Congress will continue. The Partnership cannot determine to what extent its future operations and earnings will be affected by new legislation, new regulations, or changes in existing regulation, at federal, state or local levels. Illustrative of this trend are the regulations implemented in 2009 by the State of Colorado, which focus on the natural gas and oil industry. These multi-faceted regulations significantly enhance requirements regarding natural gas and oil permitting, environmental requirements and wildlife protection. Permitting delays and increased costs could result from these final regulations. Other potential or recently enacted laws and regulations affecting the Partnership include the following:

●

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, has recently focused on citizen concerns about the risk of water contamination and public health problems from drilling and hydraulic fracturing activities. The EPA has held public meetings around the country on this issue that have been well publicized and well attended. This renewed focus could lead to additional federal and state laws and regulations affecting the Partnership’s additional Codell formation development, fracturing and operations. Additional laws, regulations or other changes could significantly reduce the Partnership’s future Codell formation development opportunities, increase the Partnership’s costs of operations, and reduce the Partnership’s distributable cash flows, in addition to undermining the demand for the natural gas and oil the Partnership produces.

●

Several bills in Congress, if passed, would establish a “cap and trade” system regarding greenhouse gas emissions. Companies would be assigned emission “allowances” under these bills which would decline each year. In addition, new EPA greenhouse gas monitoring and reporting regulations may affect the Partnership and the third parties that process the Partnership’s natural gas and oil.

●

New or increased severance taxes have been proposed in several states, which could adversely affect the existing operations in these states and the economic viability of future additional Codell formation development.

●

In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law. The Dodd-Frank Act regulates derivative transactions, including the Partnership’s natural gas and oil hedging swaps. These swaps are broadly defined to include most of the Partnership’s hedging instruments. The law requires the issuance of new regulations and administrative procedures related to derivatives within one year. The effect of such future regulations on the Partnership’s business is currently uncertain. In particular, note the following:

The Dodd-Frank Act may decrease the Managing General Partner’s ability to enter into hedging transactions which would expose the Partnership to additional risks related to commodity price volatility. Commodity price decreases could then have an immediate significant adverse affect on the Partnership’s revenues and impair the Partnership’s ability to have certainty with respect to a portion of the Partnership’s distributable cash flows. A reduction in cash flows may lead to decreased Investor Partner cash distributions or few completed Codell formation development activities and therefore, decreased Partnership’s proved reserves and future production.

ii.

The Managing General Partner expects that the cost to hedge will increase as a result of fewer counterparties in the market and the pass-through of increased counterparty costs. The Partnership’s derivative counterparties may be subject to significant new capital, margin and business conduct requirements imposed as a result of the new legislation.

iii.

The Dodd-Frank Act contemplates that most swaps will be required to be cleared through a registered clearing facility and traded on a designated exchange or swap execution facility. There are some exceptions to these requirements for entities that use swaps to hedge or mitigate commercial risk. While the Partnership may ultimately be eligible for such exceptions, the scope of these exceptions currently is somewhat uncertain, pending further definition through rulemaking proceedings.

iv.

The above factors could also affect the pricing of derivatives and make it more difficult for the Managing General Partner to enter into hedging transactions on behalf of the Partnership, on favorable terms.

Index

Environmental Regulation

The Partnership’s operations are subject to numerous laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Public interest in the protection of the environment has increased dramatically in recent years. The trend of more expansive and tougher environmental legislation and regulations is expected to continue. To the extent laws are enacted or other governmental action is taken that restricts drilling or imposes environmental protection requirements that result in increased costs and reduced access to the natural gas industry in general, our business and prospects could be adversely affected. In 2009, the State of Colorado’s Oil and Gas Conservation Commission implemented new broad-based environmental and wildlife protection regulations for the industry which are expected to increase the Partnership’s additional Codell formation development costs and ongoing level of natural gas and oil production costs.

Partnership expenses relating to preserving the environment have risen during the period covered by this report (2009-2008) and are expected, as a consequence of the factors described above, to continue to rise in 2010 and beyond. Environmental and other governmental laws and regulations have increased the costs to plan, design, drill, install, operate and abandon natural gas and oil wells. While environmental regulations have had no materially adverse effect on the Partnership’s operations to date, no assurance can be given that environmental regulations or interpretations of such regulations will not in the future, result in a curtailment of production or otherwise have a materially adverse effect on Partnership results of operations or distributable cash flows. See Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies, Stormwater Permit.

The Partnership generates wastes that may be subject to the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, and comparable state statutes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, and various state agencies have limited the approved methods of disposal for certain hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. Furthermore, certain wastes generated by our operations that are currently exempt from treatment as “hazardous wastes” may in the future be designated as “hazardous wastes,” and therefore be subject to more rigorous and costly operating and disposal requirements.

The Partnership’s operations may be subject to the Clean Air Act, or CAA, and comparable state and local requirements. The State of Colorado has implemented new air emission regulations in 2009, which affect the industry, including the Partnership’s operations.

~~ITEM~~Cash 6Distribution Policy. ~~SELECTED~~ ~~FINANCIAL~~PDC ~~DATA~~plans to make distributions of Partnership cash on a monthly basis, but no less often than quarterly, subject to funds being available for distribution. PDC will make cash distributions of 80% of distributable cash to the Investor Partners, including any Investor Partner units purchased by the Managing General Partner, and 20% of distributable cash to the Managing General Partner, throughout the term of the Partnership. Cash is distributed to the Investor Partners and PDC currently as a return of capital in the same proportion as their proportional interest in the net income of the Partnership.

~~The~~PDC ~~selected~~cannot ~~financial~~presently ~~data presented~~predict ~~below~~amounts ~~has~~of ~~been~~future ~~derived~~cash distributions, if any, from ~~audited~~the ~~financial~~Partnership. ~~statements~~However, PDC expressly conditions any and all future cash distributions upon the Partnership having sufficient cash available for distribution.

In this regard, PDC reviews the accounts of the Partnership at least quarterly for the purpose of determining the sufficiency of distributable cash available for distribution. Amounts will be paid to Investor Partners only after payment of fees and expenses to the Managing General Partner and its affiliates and only if there is sufficient cash available.

The ability of the Partnership to make or sustain cash distributions depends upon numerous factors. PDC can give no assurance that any level of cash distributions to the Investor Partners of the Partnership will be attained, that cash distributions will equal or approximate cash distributions made to investor partners of prior drilling programs sponsored by PDC, or that any level of cash distributions can be maintained. Fully developing all of the Partnership’s properties would require substantial capital expenditures. Because of the restrictions set forth in the Agreement on borrowing money and making assessments on limited partnership units, the Partnership would generally be unable to fund such capital expenditures without retaining all or a substantial portion of the Partnership’s cash flow.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis, as well as other sections in this Form 10-K, should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s accompanying financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included in this report. Further, the Partnership encourages the reader to revisit the Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements on page 1 of the report.

PDC Sponsored Drilling Program Acquisition Plan

PDC, the managing general partner of various public limited partnerships, has disclosed its intention to pursue the acquisition, within the next three years beginning in the fall of 2010, of the remaining third-party Investor Partner interests in the limited partnerships which PDC has sponsored, including PDC 2003-D Limited Partnership. (For additional information regarding PDC’s intention to pursue acquisition of PDC sponsored partnerships, refer to Regulation FD disclosure included in Items 2.02 and/or 7.01 of PDC’s Form 8-Ks dated March 4, 2010, June 9, 2010 and July 15, 2010, which information shall not, by reason of this reference, be deemed to be incorporated by reference in, or otherwise be deemed to be part of, this report.) Under the Acquisition Plan, any offer will be subject to the terms and conditions of a to be proposed merger agreement wherein the Partnership will merge into PDC. The transaction will also be subject to PDC having sufficient available capital and the approval by a majority of the Investor Partners’ interests, excluding partnership interest owned by PDC, of each respective limited partnership. Should a purchase offer from PDC be proposed, approved by a majority of the Partnerships’ unaffiliated limited partners, and consummated, the purchase transaction would result in a liquidating cash distribution to all partners and termination of the existence of the Partnership. There is no assurance that any such acquisition will occur.

Partnership Overview

PDC 2003-D Limited Partnership engages in the development, production and sale of natural gas and oil. The Partnership began natural gas and oil operations in December 2003 and currently operates 43 gross (41 net) wells located in the state of Colorado. The Partnership drilled two wells (1.5 net wells) that were previously determined to be developmental dry holes. The Managing General Partner markets the Partnership’s natural gas production to commercial end users, interstate or intrastate pipelines or local utilities, primarily under market sensitive contracts in which the price of natural gas sold varies as a result of market forces. PDC, on behalf of the Partnership through the D&O Agreement, may enter into multi-year contracts which generally have monthly index-based pricing provisions, or utilize derivatives, including collars, swaps or basis protection swaps, in order to offset some or all of the commodity price variability for particular periods of time. Seasonal factors, such as effects of weather on prices received and costs incurred, and availability of pipeline capacity, owned by PDC or other third parties, may impact the Partnership’s results. In addition, both sales volumes and prices may be affected by demand factors.

Index

Well Development Plan

The Partnership’s wells will produce until they are depleted or until they are uneconomical to produce; however, the Managing General Partner has established a Well Development Plan for the Codell formation of the Partnership’s Wattenberg Field wells that may provide for additional reserve development and production. Additional Codell formation development is expected to consist of either the J-Sand formation well’s initial fracture treatment and completion of the upper Codell formation sands, or the Codell formation wells’ recompletion of each well’s current production zone. While Codell formation well recompletions generally occur five to ten years after initial well drilling, the initial Codell formation completion of the J-Sand well may occur at any time that funding is available so that well resources are optimally recovered and would generally be expected to occur within a favorable general economic environment and commodity price outlook. The Managing General Partner has developed a plan to initiate additional development activities during 2011. See Item 1, Business−Future Development Opportunities and Well Development Plan for more information about the additional Codell formation development and the Managing General Partner’s plan.

Implementation of the Well Development Plan would reduce or eliminate Partnership distributions to investors while the work is being conducted and paid for. Depending upon the level of withholding and the results of operations, it is possible that investors could have taxable income from the Partnership without any corresponding distributions in the future. Investor Partners are urged to consult a tax advisor to determine all of the relevant federal, state and local tax consequences of the Well Development Plan. The above discussion is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning, and third-party Investor Partners should depend upon the advice of their own tax advisors concerning the effects of the Well Development Plan.

2009 and 2008 Partnership Overview

The year 2008 was a year of significant events: natural gas and oil prices reached record and near record highs, respectively, through July. Then, in the midst of U.S. credit turmoil and a worldwide economic slump in December 2008, oil prices fell to their lowest in the four year period while natural gas prices decreased approximately 50%. Although natural gas prices rebounded in the last two months of 2009 from earlier in the year, the Partnership overall, experienced substantially lower natural gas and oil commodity pricing in 2009 compared to 2008 as a consequence of the protracted economic recession and ensuing uncertainty in the timing of ongoing economic recovery.

Natural gas and oil sales totaled $2.0 million during 2009 compared to $4.3 million during 2008. This decrease was driven primarily by a depressed commodity price environment. The average sales price per Mcfe, excluding the impact of realized derivative gains, was $4.21 for 2009 compared to $8.27 for the previous year, a decline of 49%. The Partnership’s production decreased to 471 MMcfe for the 2009 annual period compared to 521 MMcfe for the same 2008 period, a decrease of 10%. Period-to-prior-year period production declines are expected declines that naturally take place over a natural gas and oil well’s production life cycle.

While the significant declines in commodity prices have negatively impacted the Partnership’s results of operations for 2009, the Managing General Partner believes that managing the Partnership’s operations, by partially reducing the negative impacts of lower prices through the Partnership’s derivative positions, was reasonably successful. Realized derivative gains from natural gas and oil sales contributed an additional $3.04 per Mcfe, or $1.4 million, and $0.25 per Mcfe, or $0.1 million, to 2009 and 2008 total revenues, respectively. Comparatively, the total per Mcfe price realized, consisting of the average sales price and realized derivative gains, decreased 15% to $7.25 during 2009 from $8.52 during the prior year. Although the Partnership’s 2009 natural gas and sales revenues declined by 54%, or $2.3 million compared to 2008, the Partnership’s annual cash flows provided by operating activities increased by $0.4 million, benefited by the previously mentioned Partnership increase in realized derivative gains for the 2009 annual period and the $0.5 million increase in Due from Managing General Partner−other cash receipts.

Commodity price declines were the primary contributor to the $2.3 million decrease in natural gas and oil sales in 2009 compared to the prior year. The 54% decrease in total sales in 2009 as compared to 2008 was due to a significantly lower average sales price per Mcfe, of 49%, combined with lower production volumes, on a Mcfe or energy equivalency basis, of 10%. The decrease in natural gas revenues of 61% contrasts to the more moderate reduction in oil revenues of 41% which reflects the less significant reduction in average oil sales prices per Bbl, of 37%, as compared to the reduction in natural gas sales prices per Mcf, of 56%, during the period.

On a quarterly basis, total sales for the first, second and third quarters of 2009 as compared to the same periods in 2008, decreased by $0.8 million, $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively, due primarily to commodity price declines that were a result of the 2009 economic recession’s downward pressure on demand for natural gas and oil commodities and resulting prices compared to the robust energy commodity price environment before the late-2008 global financial crisis and significant decline in commodity prices. Fourth quarter 2009 total sales increased by $0.1 million from the prior-year comparable period due to the effect of stronger 2009 late-fall natural gas pricing than that of the 2008 global financial crisis period. Although normal quarter-to-prior year quarter production declines are expected, slightly higher second and third quarter 2009 natural gas production volumes were benefitted by four Grand Valley Field’s well’s performance improvement, which offset expected normal production decreases in the Partnership’s remaining wells, compared to well production during prior year quarters.

Natural Gas and Oil Pricing

Financial results depend upon many factors, particularly the price of natural gas and oil and on PDC’s ability to market the Partnership’s production effectively. Natural gas and oil prices are among the most volatile of all commodity prices. This price volatility has a material impact on the Partnership’s financial results. Natural gas and oil prices also vary by region and locality, depending upon the distance to markets, and the supply and demand relationships in that region or locality and availability of sufficient pipeline capacity. This can be especially true in the Rocky Mountain Region. The combination of increased drilling activity and the lack of local markets has resulted in a local market oversupply situation from time to time.

The price at which PDC markets the natural gas produced in the Rocky Mountain Region by the Partnership is based on a variety of prices, which primarily includes natural gas sold at CIG prices with a portion sold at Mid-Continent, San Juan Basin, Southern California or other nearby regional prices.

The CIG Index, and other indices for natural gas production delivered to Rocky Mountain pipelines, has historically been less than the price received for natural gas produced in the eastern regions, which is primarily NYMEX based, because of the lack of interstate transmission capacity which moved Rocky Mountain natural gas production to Northeastern U.S. industrial and heating markets. This “negative differential” has narrowed in the last year and is lower than historical variances.

Like most producers in the region, the Partnership relies on major interstate pipeline companies to construct transmission facilities to increase pipeline capacity to Northeastern U.S and California markets, rendering the timing, cost and availability of these facilities beyond the Partnership’s control. In view of the regional transportation capacity issues cited herein regarding Rocky Mountain regional production, the Partnership believes that pipeline capacity constraints, although significantly moderated, will continue into the immediate future and that the sale of production in the Rocky Mountain Region will continue to be influenced by price and subject to the previously noted, “negative differential.” To that end, the Partnership has been able to sell all of its production to date, has not had to significantly curtail its production for long periods of time because of an inability to sell its production because of pipeline deliverability constraints and believes that it will be able to sell all of its future production at market prices.

Commodity Price Risk Management, Net

Natural Gas and Oil Sales Derivative Instruments. The Managing General Partner on behalf of the Partnership in accordance with the D&O Agreement, is authorized to utilize various derivative instruments to manage volatility in natural gas and oil prices. The Partnership has in place, a series of collars, fixed-price swaps and basis swaps on a portion of the Partnership’s natural gas and oil production. Under the Partnership’s collar arrangements, should the applicable index rise above the ceiling price, the Managing General Partner pays the difference between the index and the ceiling price to the counterparty; however, should the index drop below the floor price, the counterparty pays the difference between the floor price and the index price to the Managing General Partner. Under the Partnership’s commodity swap arrangements, should the applicable index rise above the swap price, the Managing General Partner pays the difference between the index price and the swap price to the counterparty; however, should the index drop below the swap price, the counterparty pays the difference between the swap price and the index price to the Managing General Partner. Under the Partnership’s basis protection swaps, should the differential widen beyond the swap price, then the counterparty pays the difference between the index price and the swap price to the Managing General Partner; however, should the differential narrow below the swap price, the Managing General Partner pays the difference between the swap price and the index price to the counterparty. See Item 1, Business−Operations – Commodity Price Risk Management for a detailed description of payments under these arrangements. Because the Partnership sells all of its physical natural gas and oil at similar prices to the indexes inherent in the Partnership’s derivative instruments, the Partnership ultimately realizes a price related to its collars of no less than the floor and no more than the ceiling and, for the Partnership’s commodity swaps, the Partnership ultimately realizes the fixed price related to its swaps.

Quarterly amounts presented on the line captioned “Unrealized (loss) gain for the period,” may be reclassified in subsequent quarterly periods, to amounts presented on the line captioned “Reclassification of realized (gains) losses included in prior periods unrealized.” For the years 2009 and 2008, quarterly amounts reclassified in subsequent quarters were $136,260 and $30,468, respectively.

The $1.4 million realized gain recognized in 2009 is a result of lower natural gas and oil commodity prices at settlement compared to the respective strike price. The Partnership recognized realized gains of $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, during the 2009 first quarter and each remaining 2009 quarter due to the gradual increase in the CIG-index natural gas prices (per MMbtu) and oil prices on NYMEX (per barrel) that occurred within each quarter of the year. The year 2009’s relatively stable commodity pricing was in stark contrast to the commodity market price volatility experienced during 2008. Rocky Mountain Region natural gas and oil prices increased during the first six months of 2008, resulting in the Partnership’s $0.3 million June 30, 2008 realized loss on its derivative positions. This loss was offset when commodity prices declined sharply during the last five months of 2008, providing the Partnership’s approximately $0.4 million realized gain on its derivative instruments during the December 31, 2008 quarter and $0.1 million overall gain, for the year ended 2008.

During 2009, the Partnership recorded current period unrealized derivative losses for the year of approximately $0.9 million. This annual unrealized derivative loss was primarily due to the $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, second and third quarter decreases in fair value of the Partnership’s commodity derivatives, resulting from rising forward strip natural gas and oil commodity prices, in relation to the Partnership’s derivative contract prices combined with the decrease in fair value of the Partnership’s CIG basis protection swaps, resulting from the narrowing of the forward basis differential between NYMEX and CIG indices, in relation to the Partnership’s contract price.

During 2008, the Partnership recorded current period unrealized derivative gains of $1.6 million, primarily related to the Partnership’s natural gas and oil positions which increased in value when the forward prices for natural gas and oil declined substantially in late 2008, relative to the Partnership’s derivative instrument contract prices. The Partnership recognized current period unrealized derivative losses of $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, during the first two quarters of 2008 and unrealized derivative gains of $1.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, during the remaining two 2008 quarters, as a result of changes in the fair value of the Partnership’s natural gas and oil derivative instruments. As noted earlier, rising Rocky Mountain Region forward strip commodity pricing early in 2008 prior to the global financial crisis, resulted in the Partnership’s quarterly unrealized losses while the steep commodity pricing declines during August through December 2008, resulted in the Partnership’s third and fourth quarter unrealized gains.

Natural Gas and Oil Production Costs

Natural gas and oil production costs include production taxes and transportation costs which vary with revenues and production, well operating costs charged on a per well basis and other direct costs incurred in the production process. As production declines, fixed costs increase as a percentage of total costs resulting in production costs per unit increases. Typically, as production is expected to continue to decline, production costs per unit can be expected to increase in the future until such time as the Partnership successfully recompletes the Wattenberg Field wells. The following table presents the Partnership’s natural gas and oil production costs recorded during each of the three month periods identified:


	2009						2008
	Prod Costs		Mcfe		per Mcfe		Prod Costs		Mcfe		per Mcfe
Jan-Mar	$	285,334		109,059	$	2.62	$	307,234		144,481	$	2.13
Apr-Jun		211,257		125,284		1.69		364,414		123,578		2.95
Jul-Sep		230,087		123,885		1.86		415,089		126,552		3.28

Total	$	923,536		470,542	$	1.96	$	1,377,175		520,548	$	2.65

Generally, natural gas and oil production costs vary with changes in total natural gas and oil sales and production volumes. Production taxes are estimates by the Managing General Partner based on tax rates determined using published information. These estimates are subject to revision based on actual amounts determined during future filings by the Managing General Partner with the taxing authorities. Production taxes vary directly with total natural gas and oil sales. Transportation costs vary directly with production volumes. Fixed monthly well operating costs increase on a per unit basis as production decreases per the historical decline curve. In addition, general oil field services and all other costs vary and can fluctuate based on services required. These costs include water hauling and disposal, equipment repairs and maintenance, snow removal and service rig workovers.

Natural gas and oil production costs during 2009 were lower by $0.5 million, or 33%, than those of the preceding year primarily due to lower commodity valuations that reduced production taxes and lower lease operating expenses due to lower third-party field services costs. Lowering third party service rates are attributable to declining oil field services demand in this low-commodity price environment, as well as the Managing General Partner’s cost reduction initiatives. Natural gas and oil production costs per Mcfe were $1.96 during the year 2009 compared to $2.65 for the year 2008.

On a quarterly basis, natural gas and oil production costs remained substantially unchanged at $0.3 million during the first quarter in 2009 compared to the respective prior year quarter. For the second through the fourth quarters of 2009, natural gas and oil production costs decreased by approximately $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million from the comparable 2008 quarters, respectively, primarily as a result the Managing General Partner’s cost reduction initiatives.

Natural gas and oil production cost per Mcfe increases during the second and third quarters of 2008 primarily reflect the combined effect of the Partnership’s higher production tax expenditures due to higher commodity valuations and higher lease operating costs because of Grand Valley Field access road maintenance and remediation at four Partnership wells located at one Grand Valley well pad. The fourth quarter 2008 production cost per Mcfe decrease is the result of the combined effect of the lower production tax expenditures due to significantly lower commodity valuations during the late-2008 global credit crisis period and lower lease operating costs.

Natural gas and oil production cost per Mcfe variations during 2009 are primarily the result of changes in lease operating expenditures. First quarter 2009 lease operating costs reflect well and surface equipment installation at the Partnership’s four Grand Valley wells noted above, combined with surface equipment installation at three Wattenberg Field wells. Reductions in natural gas and oil production costs per Mcfe during the second and third quarters of 2009 primarily reflect lower lease operating expenses due to lower third-party field services costs, whose lowering rates are attributable to declining oil field services demand in this low-commodity price environment, and the Managing General Partner’s cost reduction initiatives. During fourth quarter 2009, the Partnership recorded a downward revision of 2009 production taxes that was applicable to prior quarters’ production.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

The following table presents the Partnership’s depreciation, depletion, and amortization (“DD&A”) expense recorded for each of the three month periods identified:

Total	$	2,062,991		470,542	$	4.38	$	1,639,101		520,548	$	3.15

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense results solely from the depreciation, depletion and amortization of well equipment and lease costs. The Partnership’s calculation of DD&A expense is primarily based upon year-end proved developed producing natural gas and oil reserve estimates and associated production volumes. For 2008, the Partnership’s natural gas and oil economically producible reserve quantities were determined by valuing in-ground natural gas and oil resources, at the price of natural gas and oil as of December 31, 2008. In 2009, the SEC published its final rule regarding the modernization of natural gas and oil reporting, which changed the valuation price from a December 31 single-day pricing to a price determined by the 12-month average of the first-day-of-the-month price during each month of 2009. Typically as valuation prices increase, the estimated volumes of natural gas and oil reserves may increase, resulting in a decrease in the rate of DD&A for each Mcfe produced. If valuation prices decrease the estimated volumes of natural gas and oil reserves may also decrease, resulting in an increase in the DD&A rate for each Mcfe produced.

The DD&A expense rate per Mcfe increased to $4.38 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $3.15 during the same period in 2008. The variance in the annual per Mcfe rates for the 2009 period compared to the 2008 period is the result of the changing production mix between the Partnership’s Wattenberg and Grand Valley Fields, which have significantly different DD&A rates in addition to the effects of downward revisions in the Partnership’s proved developed producing natural gas and oil reserves at December 31, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007. The Partnership’s downward year-end 2008 proved developed producing reserve revision was the primary contributor to the increased DD&A expense of $0.5 million during the first three quarters of 2009. Fourth quarter 2009 DD&A expense declined approximately $0.1 million compared to fourth quarter 2008, primarily based on a Wattenberg Field upward natural gas and oil proved developed producing reserves revision from the Partnership's December 31, 2009 annual reserve report. Overall, DD&A expense increased $0.4 million during 2009 compared to the prior year. The Partnership’s 2009 annual production volumes, on an Mcfe or energy-equivalency basis, decreased by 10% over 2008 production volumes.

The higher fourth quarter 2008 DD&A expense rate per Mcfe compared to the year’s earlier quarter-periods is due to the utilization of the year-end 2008 report’s lower proved developed producing natural gas and oil reserve volumes compared to year-end 2007 reported reserves that was used in determining DD&A expense in earlier 2008 quarters. The lower fourth quarter 2009 DD&A expense rate per Mcfe compared to 2009’s earlier quarter-periods is due to the fourth quarter’s use of the year-end 2009 report’s lower Wattenberg Field proved developed producing natural gas and oil reserve volumes, compared to year-end 2008 reserves, as noted above. See Supplemental Natural Gas and Oil Information – Unaudited, Net Proved Natural Gas and Oil Reserves that accompanies the financial statements included in this Annual Report, for additional information regarding the Partnership’s reserves reported as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership’s primary sources of cash in 2009 were provided by operating activities which include the sale of natural gas and oil production, the net realized gains from the Partnership’s derivative positions and the decrease in “Due from Managing General Partner – Other, Net.” These sources of cash were primarily used to fund the Partnership’s operating cost, general and administrative activities and provide monthly distributions to the Investor Partners and PDC, the Managing General Partner. Fluctuations in the Partnership’s operating cash flow are substantially driven by changes in commodity prices, in production volumes and in realized gains and losses from commodity positions. Commodity prices have historically been volatile and the Partnership attempts to manage this volatility through derivatives. Therefore, the primary source of the Partnership’s cash flow from operations becomes the net activity between the Partnership’s natural gas and oil sales and realized derivative gains and losses. However, the Partnership does not engage in speculative positions, nor does the Partnership hold derivative instruments for 100% of the Partnership’s expected future production from producing wells and therefore may still experience significant fluctuations in cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2010, the Partnership had natural gas and oil derivative positions in place covering 79% of expected natural gas production and 71% of expected oil production for the remainder of 2010, at an average price of $3.91 per Mcf and $92.96 per Bbl, respectively. See Results of Operations for further discussion of the impact of prices and volumes on sales from operations and the impact of derivative activities on the Partnership’s revenues.

The Partnership’s future operations are expected to be conducted with available funds and revenues generated from natural gas and oil production activities and commodity gains (losses). Natural gas and oil production from the Partnership’s existing properties are generally expected to continue a gradual decline in the rate of production over the remaining life of the wells. Therefore, the Partnership anticipates a lower annual level of natural gas and oil production and, in the absence of significant price increases or additional reserve development, lower revenues. The Partnership also expects cash flows from operations to decline if commodity prices remain at current levels or decrease in the future. Under these circumstances decreased production would have a material negative impact on the Partnership’s operations and may result in reduced cash distributions to the Investor Partners in 2010 and beyond and may substantially reduce or restrict the Partnership’s ability to participate in additional development activities. Future cash distributions may also be reduced to fund additional Codell formation development activities in the Wattenberg Field.

Working Capital

The following table presents the Partnership’s working capital position at the end of the three month period indentified:


	As of
	March 31, 2009		June 30, 2009		September 30, 2009		December 31, 2009

Working capital	$	1,976,871	$	1,180,916	$	2,442,494	$	3,241,197

Working capital at December 31, 2009 was $0.8 million compared to working capital of $3.2 million at December 31, 2008, a decrease of approximately $2.4 million. This decrease was primarily due to the following changes in accounts receivable and payable balances:

●

Natural gas and oil receivables decreased by approximately $0.1 million between December 31, 2009 and 2008.

●

Realized derivative gains receivables decreased by $0.2 million between December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

●

Net short-term unrealized derivative gains receivable decreased by $1.2 million between December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

●

The liability Due to Managing General Partner-other, excluding natural gas and oil sales received from third parties and realized derivative gains, increased by $0.9 million between December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Amounts Due to (from) the Managing General Partner-other, described above, were impacted by non-recurring items during the period ended September 2009. There was a net reduction of $1.4 million in amounts due from the Managing General Partner, as a $1.6 million receivable for over-withheld production taxes related to Partnership production prior to 2007 was collected. In addition, the Partnership settled the obligation for the Colorado Royalty Settlement of approximately $0.2 million. The net cash impact of these transactions increased distributions by $1.4 million during 2009. For more information on the Colorado Royalty Settlement see Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies to the accompanying audited financial statements.

Cash Flows

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.7 million for 2009 compared to $3.3 million for 2008, an increase of approximately $0.4 million. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to the following:

●

A decrease in natural gas and oil sales receipts of $2.5 million, or 54%;

●

An increase in commodity price risk management realized gains receipts of $1.8 million and a decrease in natural gas and oil production costs of $0.5 million, or 33%;

●

A decrease in oil inventory of $0.1 million; and

●

An increase in Due from Managing General Partner-other receipts, excluding natural gas and oil sales receipts and realized derivative gain receipts noted above, of approximately $0.5 million primarily due to the non-recurring third quarter 2009 Managing General Partner’s $1.6 million payment to the Partnership for over-withheld production taxes and accrued interest thereon, related to Partnership production prior to 2007, which was partially offset by the Partnership’s approximately $0.2 million payment to the Managing General Partner for royalty settlement costs. For more information on the Colorado Royalty Settlement see Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies to the accompanying financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

~~Certain~~ The Managing General Partner has identified the following policies as critical to business operations and the understanding of the results of the operations of the Partnership. The following is not a comprehensive list of all of the Partnership’s accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. There are ~~very~~also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. However, certain of the Partnership’s accounting policies are particularly important to the portrayal of the Partnership'’s financial ~~condition~~position and results of operations and ~~requires~~the ~~management's~~Managing ~~most subjective~~General orPartner ~~complex~~may ~~judgments~~use significant judgment in their application; as a result these policies are subject to inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying ~~those~~these policies, ~~our~~the ~~management~~Managing General Partner uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on ~~our~~ historical experience, ~~our~~observation ~~observance~~ of trends in the industry, and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. For a more detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see "Note 12, - Summary of ~~significant~~Significant ~~accounting policies"~~Accounting Policies in ~~our~~the accompanying financial statements ~~and related notes~~. The Partnership'’s critical accounting policies and estimates are as follows:

Revenue Recognition

Natural Gas Sales . Sales of natural gas are recognized when natural gas has been delivered to a custody transfer point, persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the rights and responsibility of ownership pass to the purchaser upon delivery, collection of revenue from the sale is reasonably assured and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Natural gas is sold upon delivery by the Managing General Partner under contracts with terms ranging from one month up to ~~three~~the ~~years~~life of the well. Virtually all of the Managing General Partner'’s contracts’ pricing provisions are tied to a market index, with certain adjustments based on, among other factors, whether a well delivers to a gathering or transmission line, quality of ~~natural~~ gas and prevailing supply and demand conditions~~, so that the price of the natural gas fluctuates to remain competitive with other available natural gas supplies~~. As a result, the Partnership'’s revenues from the sale of natural gas will ~~suffer~~ decrease if market prices decline and ~~benefit~~increase if ~~they~~market prices increase. The ~~Managing~~Partnership ~~General Partner~~ believes that the pricing provisions of its natural gas contracts are customary in the industry.

The ~~Managing~~Partnership ~~General Partner~~ currently uses the "“Net-Back"” method of accounting for transportation arrangements of natural gas sales. The Managing General Partner sells natural gas at the wellhead and ~~collects a price and~~ recognizes revenues based on the wellhead sales price since transportation costs downstream of the wellhead are incurred by the ~~Managing General Partner'~~Partnership’s customers and reflected in the wellhead price.

6Oil Sales. Sales of oil are recognized when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the oil is verified as produced and is delivered from storage tanks at well locations to a purchaser, collection of revenue from the sale is reasonably assured and the sales price is determinable. The Partnership does not refine any of its oil production. The Partnership’s crude oil production is sold to purchasers at or near the Partnership’s wells under short-term purchase contracts at prices and in accordance with arrangements that are customary in the oil industry.

~~Sales~~Fair ofValue ~~oil are recognized when persuasive evidence~~ of aFinancial sales arrangement exists, the oil is verified as produced and is delivered in a stock tank, collection of revenue from the sale is reasonably assured and the sales price is determinable. The Partnership is currently able to sell all the oil that it can produce under existing sales contracts with petroleum refiners and marketers. The Partnership does not refine any of its oil production. The Partnership's crude oil production is sold to purchasers at or near the Partnership's wells under short-term purchase contracts at prices and in accordance with arrangements that are customary in the oil industry.Instruments

~~Accounting~~Determination ~~for Derivatives~~of ~~Contracts at~~ Fair Value. The Partnership’s fair value measurements are estimated pursuant to a fair value hierarchy that requires the Managing General Partner to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement in its entirety determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability, and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are defined as:

~~The Partnership~~● ~~uses~~Level ~~derivative~~1 ~~instruments~~– toQuoted ~~manage~~prices ~~its~~(unadjusted) ~~commodity~~in ~~and~~active ~~financial market~~markets ~~risks.~~for ~~Accounting~~identical ~~requirements~~assets ~~for~~or ~~derivatives~~liabilities. ~~and~~Included ~~hedging~~in ~~activities~~ Level 1 are ~~complex;~~the ~~interpretation~~Partnership’s ofcommodity ~~these~~derivative ~~requirements~~instruments byfor ~~standard~~NYMEX-~~setting~~based ~~bodies~~fixed ~~is ongoing.~~price natural gas swaps and collars.

~~For individual~~- ~~contracts,~~32 the use of different assumptions could have a material effect on the contract's estimated fair value. In addition, for hedges of forecasted transactions, the Partnership must estimate the expected future cash flows of the forecasted transactions, as well as evaluate the probability of the occurrence and timing of such transactions. Changes in conditions or the occurrence of unforeseen events could affect the timing of recognition in earnings for changes in fair value of certain hedging derivatives.-

Costs of proved developed producing properties and developmental dry hole costs are ~~accounted~~depreciated ~~for~~or depleted by the ~~successful~~unit-of-production ~~efforts~~method based on estimated proved developed producing natural gas and oil reserves.

The Partnership assesses impairment of capitalized costs of proved natural gas and oil properties, upon a triggering event, by comparing net capitalized costs to estimated undiscounted future net cash flows on a field-by-field basis using estimated production based upon prices at which management reasonably estimates commodities to be sold. The Partnership considers the receipt of the annual reserve report from independent engineers to be a triggering event. Therefore, impairment tests are completed as of December 31 each year. The estimates of future prices may differ from current market prices of natural gas and oil. Downward revisions in estimates of the Partnership’s reserve quantities, expectations of falling commodity prices or rising operating costs could result in a triggering event and therefore a possible impairment of the Partnership’s natural gas and oil properties. If during the completion of the impairment test, net capitalized costs exceed undiscounted future net cash flows, the measurement of impairment is based on estimated fair value utilizing a future discounted cash flow analysis, which is predominantly unobservable data or inputs (Level 3) and is measured by the amount by which the net capitalized costs exceed fair value. The Partnership’s estimated production used in the impairment testing is taken from the annual reserve report, which is summarized in the Supplemental Natural Gas and Oil Information–Unaudited, Net Proved Natural Gas and Oil Reserves that accompanies the financial statements included in this Annual Report. Estimated undiscounted future net cash flows are determined using prices from the forward price curve. Estimated discounted future net cash flows were determined utilizing a risk adjusted discount rate that is based on rates utilized by market participants that are commensurate with the risks inherent in the development of the underlying natural gas and oil reserves. The Partnership has incurred impairment losses from inception to December 31, 2009 of $8.7 million on its proved natural gas and oil properties, all of which was recognized in 2006.

~~Unproved properties and leases are written~~-~~off~~ to33 ~~expense when it is determined that they will expire to be abandoned.~~-

Costs of proved properties, including leasehold acquisitions, exploration and development costs and equipment, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method based on estimated proved developed oil and gas reserves.Index

~~Asset~~See ~~Retirement~~Note ~~Obligation~~2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the accompanying financial statements included in this Annual Report, for recently issued and implemented accounting standards including the SEC’s, Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting, an effort by the SEC to provide investors with a more meaningful and comprehensive understanding of natural gas and oil reserves, that become effective for the Partnership’s financial statements and related disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2009. Since the SEC’s final rule prohibited retroactive application of the new industry accounting and reporting standards, the Partnership’s financial statements and related industry disclosures contained in this Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 2008, are based on those SEC standards then in effect, during the year 2008 and earlier.

InThe ~~accordance~~most ~~with~~significant ~~SFAS~~provision ~~No. 143~~of the new industry accounting and reporting final rule was the change in the method for determining the December 31, ~~"Accounting~~2009 valuation price for ~~Asset~~in-ground ~~Retirement~~natural ~~Obligations"~~gas and oil resources, used to determine economically producible natural gas and oil reserve quantities.

The Partnership applied the above changes to the Partnership’s financial statements of and for the year ended December 31, 2009. As a ~~corresponding~~result, ~~increase~~the inPartnership’s fourth quarter DD&A calculation was based on proved developed producing reserves that were calculated using the ~~carrying amount~~new SEC reserve reporting guidelines; whereas, DD&A calculations for the first three quarters of 2009 were based on the ~~related~~prior ~~long~~methodology. The impact of using the 12-~~lived~~month ~~asset~~average pricing methodology specified under the new SEC reporting rules resulted in an increase of the Partnership’s fourth quarter DD&A expense of approximately $40,000.

Rules and ~~Risk~~interpretive ~~Management~~releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Although the new FASB accounting rule became effective for the Partnership’s quarterly and annual SEC reporting beginning September 30, 2009, for purposes of continuity and reader understanding of this comprehensive Annual Report for the years 2009 and 2008, accounting guidance referred to in footnotes and management’s discussion and analysis generally will utilize the Codification’s topical organization structure.

2007 Material Weaknesses

As discussed in the Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting included in the Partnership’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Partnership did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, with respect to the following three areas:

●

The support for the Partnership’s general ledger depends in part on the effectiveness of controls of the Managing General Partner’s spreadsheets. The overall ineffectiveness of the Managing General Partner’s spreadsheet controls could have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial statements. The Partnership did not maintain effective controls to ensure the completeness, accuracy, and validity of key financial statement spreadsheets generated by the Managing General Partner. These spreadsheets are utilized by the Partnership to support significant balance sheet and income statement accounts. This material weakness has been remediated as of December 31, 2008.

●

The support for the Partnership’s derivative calculations depends in part on the effectiveness of controls of the Managing General Partner’s process. The overall ineffectiveness of the Managing General Partner’s derivative controls could have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial statements. The Partnership did not maintain effective controls to ensure that the Managing General Partner had policies and procedures, or personnel with sufficient technical expertise to record derivative activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This material weakness has been remediated as of December 31, 2008.

●

For the transactions that are directly related to and processed by the Partnership, the Partnership failed to maintain sufficient documentation to adequately assess the operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. More specifically, the Partnership’s financial close and reporting narrative failed to adequately describe the process, identify key controls and assess segregation of duties. This material weakness has been remediated as of December 31, 2009.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2009, PDC, as Managing General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Managing General Partner’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). This evaluation considered the various processes carried out under the direction of the Managing General Partner’s Disclosure Committee in an effort to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the SEC reports the Partnership files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Partnership’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon the evaluation, the Managing General Partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2009.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of PDC, the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

(1)

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;

(2)

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and

(3)

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements of the issuer.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management of the Managing General Partner has assessed the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based upon the criteria established in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management of the Managing General Partner concluded that the Partnership maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.

The accompanying Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Item 308T (a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

c) Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control

PDC, the Managing General Partner, with participation from the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors, addressed the material weaknesses disclosed in the Partnership’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Managing General Partner believes that the effective implementation of changes in internal controls over financial reporting during 2008 outlined below, remediated the first two known 2007 material weaknesses identified above, as of December 31, 2008.

- 36 -

Index

The Partnership made the following changes in its internal control over financial reporting of the Partnership (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during 2008.

●

During the first quarter of 2008, the Managing General Partner implemented the general ledger, accounts receivable, cash receipts, revenue, financial reporting, and joint interest billing modules as part of a new broader financial system. The new financial system enhanced operating efficiencies and provided more effective management of Partnership business operations and processes. The Managing General Partner has taken the necessary steps to monitor and maintain appropriate internal controls during this period of change. These steps include documenting all new business process changes related to the new financial system; testing all new business processes on the new financial system; and conducting training related to the new business processes and to the new financial system software. The Managing General Partner expects the implementation of the new financial system will strengthen the overall systems of internal controls due to enhanced automation and integration of related processes. The Managing General Partner continues to modify the design and documentation of internal control processes and procedures related to the new financial system to supplement and complement existing internal controls over financial reporting. The system changes were developed to integrate systems and consolidate information, and were not undertaken in response to any actual or perceived deficiencies in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Testing of the controls related to this new system was included in the scope of the Managing General Partner’s assessment of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting for 2008.

●

During the third quarter of 2008, the Managing General Partner improved controls over certain key financial statement spreadsheets that support all significant balance sheet and income statement accounts. Specifically, the Managing General Partner enhanced the spreadsheet policy to provide additional clarification and guidance with regard to risk assessment and enforced controls over: 1) the security and integrity of the data used in the various spreadsheets, 2) access to the spreadsheets, 3) changes to spreadsheet functionality and the related approval process and 4) increased management’s review of the spreadsheets.

●

During the third quarter of 2008, in addition to accredited derivative training attended by key personnel, the Managing General Partner created and documented a desktop procedure to: 1) ensure the completeness and accuracy of the Managing General Partner’s derivative activities and 2) supplement key controls previously existing in the process. Further, the desktop procedure provides for a more robust review of the Managing General Partner’s derivative process. This procedure continued to be enhanced throughout the fourth quarter of 2008.

The Managing General Partner believes that the effective implementation of changes in internal controls over financial reporting during 2009 outlined below, remediated the third known 2007 material weakness identified above, as of December 31, 2009.

●

During the first and second quarters of 2009, the Partnership developed a plan to improve controls over certain key financial statement spreadsheets that support all significant balance sheet and income statement accounts. The Partnership also created and documented a procedural framework to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the Partnership’s derivative activities. Additionally, the Partnership completed the development of a revised financial close and reporting narrative that adequately describes the process, identifies key controls and assesses segregation of duties.

●

In the third quarter, the Partnership developed documentation that describes the business processes and identifies key controls for internal control over financial reporting that assisted the Managing General Partner in adequately assessing internal control over financial reporting for the Partnership. In addition, the Partnership developed documentation and procedures to adequately assess segregation of duties. The controls and procedures were tested prior to December 31, 2009. At present, the Partnership has not quantified the total cost of this initiative; however, the majority of this cost is expected to be paid by the Managing General Partner.

(d) Other Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During 2009, PDC made the following changes in PDC’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting:

●

Effective July 1, 2009, as part of PDC’s broader financial reporting system, PDC implemented a new partnership investor distribution accounting module replacing the existing accounting software. PDC has taken the necessary steps to monitor and maintain appropriate internal controls during this period of change. These steps included procedures to preserve the integrity of the data converted and a review by the business owners to validate data converted. Additionally, PDC provided training related to the business process changes and the financial reporting system software to individuals using the financial reporting system to carry out their job responsibilities, as well as those who rely on the financial information. PDC anticipates that the implementation of this module will strengthen the overall systems of internal controls due to enhanced automation and integration of related processes. PDC is modifying the design and documentation of internal control process and procedures relating to the new module to supplement and complement existing internal control over financial reporting. The system changes were undertaken to integrate systems and consolidate information and were not undertaken in response to any actual or perceived deficiencies in PDC’s internal control over financial reporting. Testing of the controls related to these new systems was included in the scope of PDC’s assessment of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.

PDC, the Managing General Partner, made no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting, as previously defined, during the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2010, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Managing General Partner continues to evaluate the ongoing effectiveness and sustainability of the changes PDC made in internal control over financial reporting, and as a result of the ongoing evaluation, may identify additional changes to improve internal control over financial reporting. Further information regarding the material weaknesses of the Partnership referenced above may be found in the Partnership’s Annual Report on 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 under Item 9A (T), Controls and Procedures − Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

~~NONE~~PDC, a publicly-owned Nevada corporation, was organized in 1955. The common stock of PDC is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “PETD.” The business and affairs of the Partnership are managed by the Managing General Partner through the D&O Agreement, by or under the direction of PDC’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), in accordance with Nevada law and PDC’s By-Laws. The directors’ fiduciary duty is to exercise their business judgment in the best interests of PDC’s shareholders, and in that regard, as Managing General Partner, the best interests of the Partnership and other sponsored drilling partnerships. The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that govern the structure and functioning of the Board and establish the Board’s policies on a number of corporate governance issues. With respect to the separation of the offices of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, the Board believes it is most prudent to address this issue as a part of its succession planning process and to make a final determination based on the facts and circumstances at the time of the Chairman’s election, annually or as circumstances warrant.

~~ITEM~~The 9AManaging General Partner’s Board seeks to understand and oversee critical business risks. ~~CONTROLS~~Risks ~~AND~~are ~~PROCEDURES~~considered in every business decision, not just through Board oversight of the Managing General Partner’s Risk Management system. The Board realizes, however, that is not possible to eliminate all risk, nor is it desirable, and that appropriate risk-taking is essential to achieve the Managing General Partner’s objectives. The Board risk oversight structure provides that management report on critical business risk issues to the Planning and Finance Committee, which includes in part, an oversight function concerning PDC’s liquidity, operational and credit risk management. In this regard, the Planning and Finance Committee also provides similar risk assessment and management process oversight functions for sponsored drilling program partnerships, which includes the Partnership. Other Board committees, however, are active in managing the risks related to such committee’s oversight areas. For example, the Audit Committee reviews many risks and related controls in areas that it considers fundamental to the integrity and reliability for the PDC’s financial statements, such as counterparty risks and derivative program risks. The Managing General Partner’s Board has established the Audit Committee, including a subcommittee which focuses specifically on financial reporting matters of PDC’s sponsored drilling partnerships, to assist the Board in monitoring not only the integrity of the Managing General Partner’s financial reporting systems and internal controls but also PDC’s legal and regulatory compliance. The Board has created a Special Committee that has considered, upon Board request, the potential repurchase of certain of the sponsored drilling partnerships for which PDC serves as Managing General Partner. The Special Committee has not been asked to consider a repurchase of PDC 2003-D Limited Partnership at this time.

~~Under the supervision and with the participation of the~~ Managing General Partner~~'s management,~~ ~~including~~Duties ~~the Managing General Partner's Chief Executive Officer~~ and ~~Chief~~Resource Financial Officer, the Managing General Partner has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(c)) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, and, based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective in all material respects, including those to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Managing General Partner's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely disclosure. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls in the fourth quarter and subsequent to the date of their evaluation.Allocation

Item 11.

Executive Compensation

The Partnership does not have any employees or executives of its own. None of PDC’s officers or directors receive any direct remuneration, compensation or reimbursement from the Partnership. These persons receive compensation solely from PDC. The Managing General Partner does not believe that PDC’s executive and non-executive compensation structure, available to officers or directors who act on behalf of the Partnership, is reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Partnership’s operations or conduct of PDC when carrying out duties and responsibilities to the Partnership, as Managing General Partner under the Agreement, or as operator under the D&O Agreement. The management fee and other amounts paid to the Managing General Partner by the Partnership are not used to directly compensate or reimburse PDC’s officers or directors. No management fee was paid to PDC in 2009 or 2008 as the Partnership is not required to pay a management fee other than a one-time fee paid in the initial year of formation per the Agreement. The Partnership pays a monthly fee for each producing well based upon competitive industry rates for operations and field supervision and $75 per well per month for Partnership related general and administrative expenses that include accounting, engineering and management of the Partnership by the Managing General Partner. See Item 13, Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence for a discussion of compensation paid by the Partnership to the Managing General Partner.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

The following table presents information as of June 30, 2010 concerning the Managing General Partner’s interest in the Partnership and other persons known by the Partnership to own beneficially more than 5% of the interests in the Partnership. Each partner exercises sole voting and investing power with respect to the interest beneficially owned.


	Limited Partnership Units
Person or Group	Number of Units Outstanding Which Represent 80% of Total Partnership Interests (1)	Number of Units Beneficially Owned		Percentage of Total Units Outstanding			Percentage of Total Partnership Interests Beneficially Owned

Additional general partner units were converted to limited partner interests at the completion of drilling activities. For more information on the Partnership’s unit conversion, see Item 1, Business−General.

(2)

Petroleum Development Corporation (dba PDC Energy), 1775 Sherman Street Suite 3000, Denver, Colorado 80203.

(3)

No director or officer of PDC owns interest in PDC limited partnerships. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement individual investor partners may present their units to PDC for purchase subject to certain conditions; however, PDC is not obligated to purchase more than 10% of the total outstanding units during any calendar year.

(4)

The Percentage of “Total Partnership Interests Beneficially Owned” by PDC with respect to its limited partnership units repurchased, is determined by multiplying the percentage of limited partnership units repurchased by PDC to total limited partnership units, by the limited partners’ percentage ownership in the Partnership. [(41.84 units/1,749.84 units)*80% limited partnership ownership]

(5)

In addition to this ownership percentage of limited partnership interest, Petroleum Development Corporation (dba PDC Energy) owns a Managing General Partner interest of 20%.

Item 13.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Compensation to the Managing General Partner and Affiliates

The Managing General Partner transacts all of the Partnership’s business on behalf of the Partnership. Under the D&O Agreement, PDC provides all necessary labor, vehicles, supervision, management, accounting, and overhead services for normal production operations, and may deduct from Partnership revenues a fixed monthly charge for these services. The charge for these operations and field supervision fees (referred to as “well tending fees”) for each producing well is based on competitive industry field rates which vary based on areas of operation. The well tending fees and administration fees may be adjusted annually to an amount equal to the rates initially established by the Drilling and Operating Agreement multiplied by the then current average of the Oil and Gas Extraction Index and the Professional and Technical Services Index, as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, provided that the charge may not exceed the rate which would be charged by the comparable operators in the area of operations. This average is commonly referred to as the Accounting Procedure Wage Index Adjustment which is published annually by the Council of Petroleum Accountants Societies, or COPAS. These rates are reflective of similar costs incurred by comparable operators in the production field. PDC, in certain circumstances, has and may in the future, provide equipment or supplies, perform salt water disposal services or other services for the Partnership at the lesser of cost or competitive prices in the area of operations.

- 44 -

Index

Industry specialists, employed by PDC to support the Partnership’s business operations include the following:

●

Geoscientists who identify and develop PDC’s drilling prospects and oversee the drilling process;

●

Petroleum engineers who plan and direct PDC’s well completions and recompletions, construct and operate PDC’s well and gathering lines, and manage PDC’s production operations;

●

Petroleum reserve engineers who evaluate well natural gas and oil reserves at least annually and monitor individual well performance against expectations; and

●

Full-time well tenders and supervisors who operate PDC wells.

Salary and employment benefit costs for the above specialized services are covered by the monthly fees paid to the Managing General Partner as more fully described in the preceding Item 11, Executive Compensation.

PDC retains drilling subcontractors, completion subcontractors and a variety of other subcontractors in the performance of the work of drilling contract wells. In addition to the industry specialists above who provide technical management, PDC may provide services, at competitive rates, from PDC-owned service rigs, a water truck, steel tanks used temporarily on the well location during the drilling and completion of a well, roustabouts and other assorted small equipment and services. A roustabout is a natural gas and oil field employee who provides skilled general labor for assembling well components and other similar tasks. PDC may lay short gathering lines, or may subcontract all or part of the work where it is more cost effective for the Partnership.

See Note 3, Transactions with Managing General Partner and Affiliates to the accompanying financial statements, for information regarding compensation to and transactions with the Managing General Partner and affiliates.

Related Party Transaction Policies and Approval

The Agreement and the D&O Agreement with Petroleum Development Corporation (dba PDC Energy) govern related party transactions, including those described above. The Partnership does not have any written policies or procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions with related persons outside of the referenced agreements.

Index

Other Agreements and Arrangements

Executive officers of the Managing General Partner were eligible to invest in an executive drilling program, as approved by the Board of Directors. These executive officers profited from their participation in the executive drilling program because they invested in wells at cost and did not pay drilling compensation, management fees or broker commissions and therefore obtained an interest in the wells at a reduced price than that which was charged to the investing partners in a Partnership. Investor partners participating in drilling through a partnership were generally charged a profit or markup above the cost of the wells, management fees and commissions at rates which are generally similar to those for this Partnership outlined in Note 3, Transactions with Managing General Partner and Affiliates to the accompanying financial statements.

Through the executive drilling program, certain former executive officers of PDC invested in the wells developed by PDC in which the Partnership invested. The executive program allowed PDC to sell working interests to PDC executive officers in the wells that PDC developed for the Partnership. Participating officers thereby owned parallel undivided working interests in all of the wells that the Partnership has invested in. Prior to the funding of the Partnership, each executive officer who chose to participate in the executive program advised PDC of the dollar amount of his investment participation, and thereby acquired a working interest in the wells in which the Partnership acquired a working interest, the acquired working interest being parallel to the working interest of the Partnership and the investor partners. The officers’ percentage in certain wells is proportionate to the Partnership’s working interest among all of the Partnership’s wells based upon the officers’ investment amount. PDC had the option to sell working interests in these wells to other parties unaffiliated with PDC prior to the funding of the Partnership. The aggregate ownership percentage of these former executive officers ranges from 0.0144% to 0.0207% in 43 of the 45 wells owned by Partnership. The Board believed that having the executive officers invest in wells with PDC and other investor partners helped to create a commonality of interests much like share ownership creates a commonality of interests between the shareholders and executive officers. As of December 31, 2009, no current executive officer of the Managing General Partner owns any beneficial interest in the Partnership.

Director Independence

The Partnership has no directors. The Partnership is managed by the Managing General Partner. See Item 10, Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.

Item 14.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The following table presents amounts charged by the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) for the years described:

(2)

Tax fees consist primarily of professional services fees billed for preparation of the Partnership’s annual IRS Form 1065 and individual partners’ Schedule K-1.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that all services provided to the Partnership by its independent registered public accounting firm be subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee or authorized members of the Committee. The Partnership has no Audit Committee. The Audit Committee of PDC, as Managing General Partner, has adopted policies and procedures for pre-approval of all audit services and non-audit services to be provided by the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm. Services necessary to conduct the annual audit must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee annually at a meeting. Permissible non-audit services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm may also be approved on an annual basis by the Audit Committee if they are of a recurring nature. Permissible non-audit services to be conducted by the independent registered public accounting firm, which are not eligible for annual pre-approval, must be pre-approved individually by the full Audit Committee or by an authorized Audit Committee member. Actual fees incurred for all services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm will be reported to the Audit Committee after the services are fully performed. The duties of the Committee are described in the Audit Committee Charter, which is available at the Managing General Partner, PDC’s, website under Corporate Governance.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Partners of the PDC 2003-D Limited Partnership,

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of operations, partners’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PDC 2003-D Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Partnership has significant related party transactions with Petroleum Development Corporation and its subsidiaries.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PDC 2003-D Limited Partnership as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the period from December 15, 2003 (date of inception) to December 31, 2003, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
