Wright J.M. Unit #1 (API 42-079-30931) is a well in Cochran County operated by A.C.T. Operating Company, completed November 6, 1979 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1978 and 1979, permitted to 4,977 ft.
It was permitted by Union Oil Company Of California and has since transferred to A.C.T. Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 2.11M barrels of oil and 1.85M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 101 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
