Midland Farms Deep Unit #73 (API 42-003-31742) is a plugged well in Andrews County, plugged July 26, 2017, last operated by Occidental Permian Ltd..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1978 and 1980, permitted to 12,900 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production CO.-Andrews and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Grayburg, Wolfcamp, Strawn, Devonian.
Its lease has reported 4.93M barrels of oil and 21.6M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in August 2026. The lease carries 67 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
