Lea P.J. ET AL #78 (API 42-103-31928) is a plugged well in Crane County, plugged May 23, 2024, last operated by Ring Energy Inc..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 14, 1978, permitted to 3,400 ft.

It was permitted by Gulf Oil Corp. and has since transferred to Ring Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report one formation top, including San Andres.

Its 3 leases have reported 2.18M barrels of oil and 3.46M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 403 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
