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 Petroleum Development Corporation’s (“PDC”) strategies, plans and objectives. However, these words are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements herein. PDC now conducts business under the name “PDC Energy.”

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:

changes in production volumes, worldwide demand, and commodity prices for natural gas and oil;

changes in estimates of proved reserves;

declines in the values of the Partnership’s natural gas and oil properties resulting from impairments;

the timing and extent of the Partnership’s success in further developing and producing the Partnership’s natural gas and oil reserves;

the Managing General Partner’s ability to acquire drilling rig services, supplies and services at reasonable prices;

risks incident to the additional Codell formation development and operation of natural gas and oil wells;

future production and additional Codell formation development costs;

the availability of Partnership future cash flows for investor distributions or funding of additional Codell formation development activities;

the availability of sufficient pipeline and other transportation facilities to carry Partnership production and the impact of these facilities on price;

the effect of existing and future laws, governmental regulations and the political and economic climate of the United States of America, or U.S.;

changes in environmental laws and the regulations and enforcement related to those laws;

the identification of and severity of environmental events and governmental responses to the events;

the effect of natural gas and oil derivatives activities;

the availability of funding for the consideration payable by PDC and its wholly-owned subsidiary to consummate the prospective mergers under the Acquisition Plan, and the timing of consummating any such mergers if at all;

conditions in the capital markets; and

losses possible from pending or future litigation.

Further, the Partnership urges the reader to carefully review and consider the cautionary statements made in this report, the Partnership’s annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on December 22, 2010 (“2009 Form 10-K”) and the Partnership’s other filings with the SEC and public disclosures. The Partnership cautions you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. 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.

PDC 2002-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2010

(unaudited)

Note 1−General and Basis of Presentation

The PDC 2002-D Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) was organized as a limited partnership on June 3, 2002, in accordance with the laws of the State of West Virginia for the purpose of engaging in the exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties. Upon completion of the sale of Partnership units on December 31, 2002, the Partnership was funded and commenced its business operations. The Partnership owns natural gas and oil wells located in Colorado and from the wells, the Partnership produces and sells natural gas and oil.

Purchasers of partnership units subscribed to and fully paid for 33.15 units of limited partner interests and 1,422.11 units of additional general partner interests at $20,000 per unit. In accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Agreement”), Petroleum Development Corporation, a Nevada Corporation that now conducts business under the name “PDC Energy,” is the Managing General Partner of the Partnership (hereafter, the “Managing General Partner” or “PDC”) and has a 20% Managing General Partner ownership in the Partnership. Upon completion of the drilling phase of the Partnership's wells, all additional general partners’ units were converted into units of limited partner interests and thereafter became limited partners of the Partnership.

Throughout the term of the Partnership, revenues, costs, and cash distributions are allocated 80% to the limited and additional general partners (collectively, the “Investor Partners”), which are shared pro rata based upon the portion of units owned in the Partnership, and 20% to the Managing General Partner. Beginning in April 2009 when the conditions of the obligation arose and expiring upon the termination of Performance Standard Obligation provision in June 2013, the Partnership modified the allocation rate of all items of profit and loss and resulting cash available for distribution from that described above, between the Managing General Partner and the Investor Partners, pursuant to Section 4.02 Distributions, of the Partnership Agreement. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, distributions paid to the Managing General Partner were reduced and distributions to the Investor Partners were increased by $65,296 and $57,331, respectively, as a result of the Preferred Cash Distribution made under the terms of this provision. For more information concerning the Performance Standard Obligation, see Note 6, Partners’ Equity and Cash Distributions to the Partnership financial statements that accompany the 2009 Form 10-K.

As of June 30, 2010, there were 1,042 Investor Partners. As of June 30, 2010, the Managing General Partner has repurchased 136.63 units of the total 1,455.26 outstanding units of Partnership interests from Investor Partners at an average price of $5,545 per unit and, as a result, participates in the sharing of revenues, costs and cash distributions as both an investor partner and as the Managing General Partner.

The Managing General Partner, under the terms of the Drilling and Operating Agreement (the “D&O Agreement”), has full authority to conduct the Partnership’s business and actively manage the Partnership. The Partnership expects continuing operations of its natural gas and oil properties until such time that the Partnership’s wells are depleted or become uneconomical to produce, at which time that well may be sold or plugged, reclaimed and abandoned. The Partnership’s maximum term of existence extends through December 31, 2050, unless dissolved by certain conditions stipulated within the Agreement (which are unlikely to occur at this time) or by written consent of the Investor Partners owning a majority of outstanding units at that time.

In the Managing General Partner’s opinion, the accompanying interim unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Partnership’s financial statements for interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Accordingly, pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain notes and other financial information included in audited financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The information presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s 2009 Form 10-K. The Partnership’s accounting policies are described in the Notes to Financial Statements in the Partnership’s 2009 Form 10-K and updated, as necessary, in this Form 10-Q. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period.

Note 2−Recent Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued changes clarifying existing disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The update also added a new requirement to disclose fair value transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and describe the reasons for the transfers. The adoption of these changes as of January 1, 2010, did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

In January 2010, the FASB issued changes related to fair value measurements requiring gross presentation of activities within the Level 3 roll forward, whereby entities must present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements. This change will be effective for the Partnership’s financial statements issued for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Partnership does not expect adoption of these changes to have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial statements and related disclosures.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting in Exchange Act Periodic Reports

By Final Rule effective September 21, 2010, the SEC amended its rules and forms to conform them to Section 404(c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX, as added by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The new SEC rules exempt the Partnership as a smaller reporting company filer from the SOX requirement that registrants, which are accelerated or large accelerated filers, obtain and include in their annual report filed with the SEC, their independent registered public accounting firm’s attestation report on the effectiveness of the registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Note 3−Transactions with Managing General Partner and Affiliates

The Managing General Partner transacts business on behalf of the Partnership under the authority of the D&O Agreement. Revenues and other cash inflows received on behalf of the Partnership are distributed to the Partners net of (after deducting) corresponding operating costs and other cash outflows incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The fair value of the Partnership’s portion of unexpired derivative instruments is recorded on the balance sheet under the captions “Due from Managing General Partner–derivatives,” in the case of net unrealized gains or “Due to Managing General Partner–derivatives,” in the case of net unrealized losses.

Note 4−Fair Value Measurements

Derivative Financial Instruments. The Partnership measures fair value based upon quoted market prices, where available. The valuation determination includes: (1) identification of the inputs to the fair value methodology through the review of counterparty statements and other supporting documentation, (2) determination of the validity of the source of the inputs, (3) corroboration of the original source of inputs through access to multiple quotes, if available, or other information and (4) monitoring changes in valuation methods and assumptions. The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of future fair values. The valuation determination also gives consideration to nonperformance risk on Partnership liabilities in addition to nonperformance risk on PDC’s own business interests and liabilities, as well as the credit standing of derivative instrument counterparties. The Managing General Partner primarily uses financial institutions, which are also major lenders in PDC’s credit facility agreement, as counterparties to the Partnership’s derivative contracts. The Managing General Partner has evaluated the credit risk of the counterparties holding the Partnership’s derivative assets using relevant credit market default rates, giving consideration to amounts outstanding for each counterparty and the duration of each outstanding derivative position. Based on the Managing General Partner’s evaluation, as of June 30, 2010, the impact of non-performance risk on the fair value of the Partnership’s derivative assets and liabilities was not significant. Validation of the Partnership’s contracts’ fair values are performed internally and while the Managing General Partner uses common industry practices to develop valuation techniques, changes in the Managing General Partner’s pricing methodologies or the underlying assumptions could result in significantly different fair values. While the Managing General Partner believes these valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those used by other market participants, the use of different methodologies, or assumptions, to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2010

(unaudited)

Concentration of Credit Risk. A significant component of the Partnership’s future liquidity is concentrated in derivative instruments that enables the Partnership to manage a portion of its exposure to price volatility from producing natural gas and oil. These arrangements expose the Partnership to the risk of nonperformance by the counterparties. The Managing General Partner primarily uses financial institutions, who are also major lenders in the Managing General Partner’s credit facility agreement, as counterparties to the derivative contracts. To date, the Partnership has experienced no counterparty defaults.

Note 6−Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental

Due to the nature of the natural gas and oil business, the Partnership is exposed to environmental risks. The Managing General Partner has various policies and procedures to avoid environmental contamination and mitigate the risks from environmental contamination. The Managing General Partner conducts periodic reviews to identify changes in the Partnership’s environmental risk profile. Liabilities are accrued when environmental assessments and/or clean-ups are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. During the first six months of 2010, the Managing General Partner identified existing ground contamination at three of the Partnership’s well pads involving seven wells and the Partnership incurred expenses of $0.4 million for ground contamination remediation. At June 30, 2010, an accrued balance of approximately $0.2 million for the estimated environmental remediation liability is included in the Balance Sheet line item captioned “Accounts payable and accrued expenses.” The Managing General Partner is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of June 30, 2010, which have not been provided for or would otherwise have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements. However, there can be no assurance that current regulatory requirements will not change or unknown past non-compliance with environmental laws will not be discovered on the Partnership’s properties.

In December 2008, the Managing General Partner received a Notice of Violation /Cease and Desist Order (the “Notice”) from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (the “CDPHE”), related to the stormwater permit for the Garden Gulch Road. The Managing General Partner manages this private road for Garden Gulch LLC. The Managing General Partner is one of eight users of this road, all of which are natural gas and oil companies operating in the Piceance region of Colorado. Operating expenses, including this fine, if any, are allocated among the users of the road based upon their respective usage. The Partnership has nine wells in this region. The Notice alleged a deficient and/or incomplete stormwater management plan, failure to implement best management practices and failure to conduct required permit inspections. The Notice requires corrective action and states that the recipient shall cease and desist such alleged violations. The Notice states that a violation could result in civil penalties up to $10,000 per day. The Managing General Partner’s responses were submitted on February 6, 2009, and April 8, 2009. Commencing in December 2009, the Managing General Partner entered into negotiations with the CDPHE regarding this notice and a settlement was accepted by CDPHE in November 2010. This settlement did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial position or results of operations.

PDC 2002-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

(A West Virginia Limited Partnership)

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Partnership Overview

PDC 2002-D Limited Partnership engages in the development, production and sale of oil and natural gas. The Partnership began oil and gas operations in December 2002 and operates 36 gross (32.3 net) productive wells located in the Rocky Mountain Region in the state of Colorado. Of the Partnership’s total well count, 35 are producing and one Wattenberg Field well is not producing due to mechanical problems. 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 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. PDC, on behalf of the Partnership in accordance with the D&O Agreement, is authorized to enter into multi-year fixed price contracts 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 tend to be affected by demand factors with a seasonal component.

Recent Developments

PDC Sponsored Drilling Program Acquisition Plan

PDC, the managing general partner of various public limited partnerships, has disclosed its intention to pursue, beginning in the fall of 2010 and extending through the next three years, the acquisition of the limited partnership units (the “Acquisition Plan”) held by Investor Partners of that partnership other than PDC or its affiliates (“non-affiliated Investor Partners”), in the limited partnerships that PDC has sponsored, including this Partnership. For additional information regarding PDC’s intention to pursue acquisitions of PDC sponsored partnerships, refer to the disclosure included in Items 2.02, 7.01 and/or 8.01 of PDC’s Forms 8-K dated March 4, 2010, June 9, 2010, July 15, 2010 and November 17, 2010. However, such 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 existing or future merger offer will be subject to the terms and conditions of the related merger agreement, and such agreement does or will likely contemplate the partnership being merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of PDC. Each such merger will also be subject to, among other things, PDC having sufficient available capital and the approval by a majority of the limited partnerships units held by the non-affiliated Investor Partners of each respective limited partnership. Consummation of any proposed merger of a PDC sponsored limited partnership under the Acquisition Plan will likely result in the termination of the existence of that partnership and the right of non-affiliated Investor Partners to receive a cash payment for their limited partnership units in that partnership.

In June 2010, PDC and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PDC entered into separate merger agreements with each of PDC 2004-A Limited Partnership, PDC 2004-B Limited Partnership, PDC 2004-C Limited Partnership and PDC 2004-D Limited Partnership (collectively, the “2004 partnerships”). PDC serves as the managing general partner of each of the 2004 partnerships. Definitive proxy statements for each of the 2004 partnerships requesting approval for the applicable merger were mailed to the non-affiliated Investor Partners of the 2004 partnerships in early October 2010. Special meetings were held on December 8, 2010, at which the majority of the non-affiliated Investor Partners of each of the 2004 partnerships voted to approve the applicable merger. These mergers were completed on December 17, 2010.

In November 2010, PDC and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PDC entered into separate merger agreements with each of PDC 2005-A Limited Partnership, PDC 2005-B Limited Partnership, and the 2005 Rockies Region Private Limited Partnership (collectively, the “2005 partnerships”). PDC serves as the managing general partner of each of the 2005 partnerships. On December 3, 2010, each of the 2005 partnerships filed with the SEC, a preliminary proxy statement relating to such partnership’s prospective merger. Upon completion of the SEC review process, a definitive proxy statement will be mailed to the 2005 partnerships’ non-affiliated Investor Partners requesting their approval of the merger transactions. Pursuant to each merger agreement, if the merger is approved by the holders of a majority of the limited partnership units held by the non-affiliated Investor Partners of each respective partnership, as well as, the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, then such partnership will merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of PDC. PDC has offered to pay an aggregate of approximately $36.4 million for the limited partnership units of the 2005 partnerships in connection with the mergers. Although there is no assurance of the likelihood or timing of the completion of the SEC proxy disclosure review process or whether the Partnership will obtain the necessary approvals from non-affiliated investors, each merger of the 2005 partnerships is expected to close during the first half of 2011.

The feasibility and timing of any future purchase offer by PDC to any additional partnership, including this Partnership, depends on that partnership’s suitability in meeting a set of criteria that includes, but is not limited to, the following: age and productive-life stage characteristics of the partnership’s well inventory; favorability of economics for Wattenberg Field well refracturing; and SEC reporting compliance status and timing associated to gaining all necessary regulatory approvals required for a merger and repurchase offer. There is no assurance that any merger and acquisition will occur, as a result of PDC’s proposed repurchase offers to the 2005 partnerships, or any potential proposed repurchase offer to any other of PDC’s various public limited partnerships, including this Partnership, should they occur.

Additional Codell Formation Development Plan

The Managing General Partner has prepared a plan for the Partnership’s Wattenberg Field wells which may provide for additional reserve development and natural gas production (the “Additional Codell Formation Development Plan”). The Additional Codell Formation Development Plan consists of the Partnership’s Wattenberg Field wells’ refracturing of wells currently producing in the Codell formation and the recompletion of wells, currently producing in the deeper J-Sand formation, in the shallower Codell formation production zone. Under the Additional Codell Formation Development Plan, the Partnership plans to initiate additional Codell formation development activities during 2011. Refracturing, or “refracing,” activities consist of a second hydraulic fracturing treatment in a current production zone while recompletion activities consist of an initial hydraulic fracturing treatment in a new production zone, all within an existing well bore.

Additional Codell formation development of Wattenberg Field wells, which may provide for additional reserve development and production, generally occurs five to ten years after initial well drilling so that well resources are optimally utilized. This additional development would be expected to occur based on a favorable general economic environment and commodity price structure. The Managing General Partner has the authority to determine whether to recomplete or refracture the individual wells and to determine the timing of any additional development activity. The timing of the additional development can be affected by the desire to optimize the economic return by recompleting or refracturing the wells when commodity prices are at levels to obtain the highest rate of return to the Partnership. On average, the production resulting from PDC's successful Codell recompletions and refracturings have been at modeled economics; however, all recompletions or refracturings have not been economically successful and similar future development activities may not be economically successful. If the additional Codell formation development work is performed, PDC will charge the Partnership for the direct costs of recompletion or refracturing, and the Investor Partners and the Managing General Partner will each pay their proportionate share of costs based on the ownership sharing ratios of the Partnership from funds retained by the Managing General Partner from distributable cash flows.

During the fourth quarter 2010, the Managing General Partner began withholding funds from several of the PDC sponsored partnerships, on a pro-rata basis allocated to the Managing General Partner and Investor Partners based on their proportional ownership interest, from distributable cash flows of the Partnership resulting from current production. The funds retained are necessary for the Partnership to pay for additional Codell formation development costs and will materially reduce, up to 100%, distributable cash flows of the Partnership for a period of time not to exceed five years. If any or all of the Partnership’s Wattenberg wells are not refractured or recompleted, the Partnership will experience a reduction in proved natural gas and oil reserves currently assigned to these wells. Both the number and timing of the additional Codell formation development activities will be based on the availability of cash withheld from Partnership distributions. The Managing General Partner believes that, based on projected refracturing and recompletion costs and projected cash withholding, all Partnership additional Codell formation development activity will be completed within a five year period. This Partnership has not begun to withhold funds for this additional Codell formation development as this Partnership has outstanding payables to the Managing General Partner.

Index

PDC 2002-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

(A West Virginia Limited Partnership)

Current estimated costs for these well refracturings and recompletions are between $150,000 and $200,000 per activity. This Partnership potentially has 32 additional Codell formation development opportunities. Total withholding for these activities from the Partnership’s distributable cash flows is estimated to be between $4.8 million and $6.4 million. The Managing General Partner will continually evaluate the timing 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 additional well development.

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

Partnership Operating Results Overview

Natural gas and oil sales increased 24% or $0.1 million for the first six months of 2010 compared to the first six months of 2009, even though production volumes decreased 21% period-to-period. This increase was driven primarily by the improved commodity price environment and the increase in the Partnership’s oil production as a percentage of total production. The average sales price per Mcfe, excluding the impact of realized derivative gains, was $5.96 for the current year period compared to $3.79 for the same period a year ago. Comparatively, the total per Mcfe price realized, consisting of the average sales price and realized derivative gains, increased marginally to $7.68 for the current year six months from $7.60 for the same prior year period. The increase included realized derivative gains from natural gas and oil sales contributing $1.72 per Mcfe or $0.2 million to the first six months of 2010 total revenues as compared to $3.81 per Mcfe or $0.6 million to the six months of 2009 total revenues.

The Partnership’s natural gas and oil production expenses increased by $0.4 million during the 2010 six month period. Higher production expenditures were primarily due to environmental remediation activities during the current six month period at three of the Partnership’s well pads involving seven Partnership wells. See Note 6, Commitments and Contingencies, to the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, included in this report.

Natural Gas and Oil Sales

Six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2009

The $0.1 million, or 24%, increase in total sales for the 2010 six month period as compared to the prior year period, was primarily a reflection of the significantly higher average sales price per Mcfe of 57%, which was partially offset by a production volume decrease of 21%. The average sales price per Mcfe, excluding the impact of realized derivative gains, was $5.96 for the current year six month period compared to $3.79 for the same period a year ago.

Natural gas and oil revenues increased by 16% and 39%, respectively. The Partnership’s natural gas revenue increase resulted from rising commodity prices per Mcf, of 45%, which were partially offset by lower Partnership natural gas production volumes of 20%. This compares to the more significant oil revenue increase in which the rise in commodity prices per Bbl, of 82% was partially offset by the slightly steeper decline in oil production volumes of 24% during the current six month period.

Three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2009

The $47,000, or 17%, increase in total sales for the 2010 second quarter as compared to the prior year second quarter was primarily a reflection of the higher average sales price per Mcfe of 44%, which was partially offset by the production volume decrease of 19%. Average sales prices per Mcfe, excluding the impact of realized derivative gains, were $5.34 for the current year quarter compared to $3.72 for the same quarter a year ago.

The Partnership expects to experience declines in both natural gas and oil production volumes over the wells’ life cycles until such time that the Partnership’s Codell formation Wattenberg Field wells are successfully recompleted. Subsequent to this additional Codell formation development, production will once again be expected to decline.

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 have resulted in local market oversupply situations from time to time. Like most producers in the region, the Partnership relies on major interstate pipeline companies to construct these pipelines to increase capacity, rendering the timing and availability of these facilities and transportation capacity beyond the Partnership’s control. Oil pricing, unlike natural gas pricing, is driven predominantly by global supply and demand relationships.

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 Colorado Interstate Gas, or 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 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 New York Mercantile Exchange, or 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. This negative differential between NYMEX and CIG averaged $1.13 and $1.38 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, and narrowed to an average of $0.48 and $0.32 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

Commodity Price Risk Management, Net

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. Commodity price risk management, net, includes realized gains and losses and unrealized changes in the fair value of derivative instruments related to the Partnership’s natural gas and oil production. The Managing General Partner sets these instruments for PDC, and the various partnerships managed by PDC. Derivative financial instrument positions taken by the Managing General Partner on the Partnership’s behalf, are specifically designated to the Partnership’s production volumes. See Note 4, Fair Value Measurements and Note 5, Derivative Financial Instruments, to the Partnership’s unaudited condensed financial statements included in this report, for additional details on the Partnership’s derivative financial instruments.

The following table presents the realized and unrealized derivative gains and losses included in commodity price risk management gain (loss), net.

Six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2009

The realized derivative gains for the 2010 six month period were $0.2 million, primarily a result of lower natural gas prices at settlement compared to the respective strike price. Unrealized gains for the 2010 six month period were $0.5 million due primarily to the Partnership’s commodity positions held during the period and the downward shift in the natural gas and oil forward curves.

For the 2009 six month period, the Partnership realized derivative gains of $0.6 million as a result of lower natural gas and oil prices at settlement compared to the respective derivative strike prices. Unrealized losses for the period of $0.5 million were primarily related to oil swaps, as the forward strip price of oil rebounded during the period, as well as from the basis position, as the forward basis differential during the period between NYMEX and CIG continued to narrow from the strike price of the derivative position.

Three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2009

For the 2010 second quarter, unrealized gains of $0.1 million were related to the Partnership’s commodity positions, as the forward strip price shifted downward during the quarter, and unrealized gains of $0.1 million were related to the Partnership’s basis position due to the widening of the NYMEX-CIG basis differential.

For the 2009 second quarter, the Partnership realized derivative gains of $0.2 million as a result of lower natural gas and oil prices at settlement compared to the respective derivative strike prices. Unrealized losses for the period of $0.3 million were primarily related to oil swaps, as the forward strip price of oil rebounded during the period, as well as from the basis position, as the forward basis differential during the period between NYMEX and CIG continued to narrow from the strike price of the derivative position.

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 a basis swap on a portion of the Partnership’s natural gas and oil production. See Note 5, Derivative Financial Instruments to the Partnership’s financial statements included in the 2009 Form 10-K for an additional discussion on how each derivative type impacts the Partnership’s cash flows.

(1)

A standard unit of measure for natural gas (one MMbtu equals one Mcf).

(2)

Approximately 12% of the fair value of the Partnership’s derivative assets and all of the Partnership’s derivative liabilities were measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), see Note 4, Fair Value Measurements, to the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements included in this report.

Natural Gas and Oil Production Costs

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 but are expected to increase as wells age and require more extensive repair and maintenance. These costs include water hauling and disposal, equipment repairs and maintenance, snow removal, environmental compliance and remediation, and service rig workovers.

Six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2009

For the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, natural gas and oil production, on an energy equivalency-basis, decreased 21% due to normal production declines for this stage in the wells’ production life cycle, production reductions that resulted from well equipment or operational issues at four Wattenberg Field wells and lower Grand Valley well performance due to operational constraints.

Production and operating costs increased by approximately $0.4 million for the 2010 six month period compared to the prior year period due primarily to environmental remediation activities at three Partnership well pads involving seven Partnership wells. Production costs were also higher during the 2010 period as per well operations fees charged by the Managing General Partner escalated, consistent with the terms of the D&O Agreement. Production volume-associated reductions in production taxes, natural gas transportation and lease operating expenses partially offset the environmental and well operating expense increases. Production and operating costs per Mcfe were $6.02 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $2.26 for the comparable period in 2009.

PDC 2002-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

(A West Virginia Limited Partnership)

Three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2009

For the quarter ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, natural gas and oil production on an energy equivalency-basis, decreased 19%, primarily as a result of the Partnership wells’ expected normally-occurring production life-cycle declines in addition to the Wattenberg Field well performance issues, previously noted.

Production and operating costs were higher by approximately $0.2 million, primarily due to the environmental remediation activities at seven Partnership wells and higher per well operations fees, described above. Production and operating costs per Mcfe were $5.35 and $1.87 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

DD&A expense related to natural gas and oil properties is directly related to production volumes for the period. For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, 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. Upon adoption, in the fourth quarter of 2009, of the SEC’s final rule regarding the modernization of oil and gas reporting, the Partnership changed to a valuation price determined by the 12-month average of the first-day-of-the-month price during each month of 2009.

Six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2009

The DD&A expense rate per Mcfe increased to $4.56 for the 2010 six month period, compared to $3.64 during the same period in 2009. The increase in the per Mcfe rates for the 2010 period compared to the 2009 period is due to the changing production mix between the Partnership’s Wattenberg and Grand Valley Fields, which have significantly different DD&A rates, in addition to the effect of the downward revision in the Partnership’s proved developed producing natural gas and oil reserves at December 31, 2009, as calculated by the respective methodologies described above. The increased DD&A expense rate, partially offset by the effect of the production declines noted in previous sections, resulted in the DD&A expense remaining substantially unchanged at $0.6 million for the 2010 six month period compared to the same 2009 period.

Three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2009

The DD&A expense rate per Mcfe increased to $4.56 for the 2010 three month period, compared to $3.60 during the same period in 2009. The increase in the per Mcfe rates for the 2010 period compared to the 2009 period is due to the changing production mix between the Partnership’s Wattenberg and Grand Valley Fields, which have significantly different DD&A rates, in addition to the effect of the downward revision in the Partnership’s proved developed producing natural gas and oil reserves at December 31, 2009, as calculated by the respective methodologies described above. The increased DD&A expense rate, partially offset by the effect of the production declines noted in previous sections, resulted in the DD&A expense remaining substantially unchanged at $0.3 million for the 2010 three month period compared to the same 2009 period.

PDC 2002-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

(A West Virginia Limited Partnership)

Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Partnership’s primary sources of cash for both the three and the six months ended June 30, 2010 were from funds provided by operating activities which include the sale of natural gas and oil production and the realized gains from the Partnership’s derivative positions. These sources of cash were primarily used to fund the Partnership’s operating costs, 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 economic hedges 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 98% of the expected natural gas production and 67% of expected oil production for the remainder of 2010, at an average price of $3.99 per Mcf and $92.96 per Bbl, respectively. The Partnership’s current derivative position average prices have declined from the significantly higher average commodity contract strike price levels in effect during the 2009 comparative period, which were the result of contracts entered into during the high 2008 commodity price market; accordingly, the Partnership anticipates realized gains for the next 12 months to remain substantially below gains realized in 2009 and the first quarter of 2010. 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, if any. 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 lives 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 successful additional Codell formation 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 Managing General Partner and Investor Partners through the remainder of 2010 and beyond, and may substantially reduce or restrict the Partnership’s ability to participate in the refracturing and recompletion activities which are more fully described in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations−Additional Codell Formation Development Plan.

Working Capital

The Partnership had negative working capital of $0.1 million at June 30, 2010 compared to working capital of $0.4 million at December 31, 2009. This decrease of approximately $0.5 million was primarily due to the following changes in accounts receivable and payable balances:

Natural gas and oil receivables decreased by $0.1 million as of June 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009.

Realized derivative gains receivables decreased by $0.1 million as of June 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $0.2 million as of June 30, 2010, compared to December 31, 2009, due to the environmental remediation accrual.

Due to the Managing General Partner-other payable, excluding natural gas and oil sales received from third parties and realized derivative gains, increased by approximately $0.1 million as of June 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009.

Working capital, primarily cash and cash equivalents, is expected to increase during early 2011 due to the Partnership’s anticipated withholding cash from the Managing General Partner and Investor Partners, on a pro-rata basis, for the initial additional Codell formation development activities. This withholding is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2011. Cash will begin to decrease as the funds are utilized in payment of the completed development activities, currently planned to occur during mid-to-late 2011. Funding for the Additional Codell Formation Development Plan will be provided by the withholding of distributable cash flows from the Managing General Partner and Investor Partners on a percentage of Partnership ownership pro-rata basis, which excludes the Performance Standard Obligation modifications to the Partnership’s distributable cash flow allocation that is more fully described below. Working capital is expected to similarly fluctuate by increasing during periods of Additional Codell Formation Development Plan funding and by decreasing during periods when payments are made for completed refracturing or recompletion.

Cash Flows

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1.1 million for the comparable period in 2009. The approximately $0.4 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to the following:

An increase in natural gas and oil sales receipts of $0.1 million, or 18%;

A decrease in commodity price risk management realized gains receipts of $0.3 million, or 47%; an increase in natural gas and oil production costs of $0.4 million, or 111%;

A decrease in accounts payable−accrued expense payments of $0.2 million; and

A decrease in Due from Managing General Partner-other, net, receipts of approximately $0.1 million, excluding natural gas and oil sales received from third parties and realized derivative gains.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

The Partnership, from time-to-time, invests in additional equipment which supports treatment, delivery and measurement of natural gas and oil or environmental protection. These amounts totaled approximately $25,000 and $40,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

The Partnership initiated monthly cash distributions to investors in July 2003 and has distributed $20.6 million through June 30, 2010. The table below presents the cash distributions to the Managing General Partner and Investor Partners, including Managing General Partner distributions relating to limited partnership units repurchased, for the periods described.

Three months ended June 30,	Managing General Partner Distributions	Investor Partners Distributions	Total Distributions

2010	$ 11,838	$ 161,363	$ 173,201

2009	$ 60,248	$ 527,645	$ 587,893

Six months ended June 30,	Managing General Partner Distributions	Investor Partners Distributions	Total Distributions

2010	$ 62,597	$ 576,865	$ 639,462

2009	$ 157,111	$ 915,102	$ 1,072,213

The decrease in total distributions for both the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods in 2009, were primarily due to the significant decrease in cash flows from operating activities for these two periods.

PDC 2002-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

(A West Virginia Limited Partnership)

Beginning in April 2009 when the average Investor Partner annual rate of return fell below 12.8%, the Partnership began to modify the standard ownership-based pro-rata allocation of Partnership cash available for distribution, pursuant to the Performance Standard Obligation outlined in Section 4.02 of the Agreement. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, distributions paid to the Managing General Partner were reduced and distributions to the Investor Partners were increased, by $65,296 and $57,331, respectively, as a result of the Preferred Cash Distribution made under the terms of this provision. Because of the expected production declines related to the Partnership’s mature natural gas and oil operations, the Managing General Partner believes performance obligation allocation rate modifications are likely to continue until June 2013, when the provision expires under the terms of the Agreement.
