Moss Paul Unit #23 (API 42-135-02097) is a well in Ector County operated by R3 Operating Corporation, completed August 11, 1986.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 16, 1986, permitted to 4,245 ft.
It was permitted by Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Midland and has since transferred to R3 Operating Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Grayburg.
Its lease has reported 2.7M barrels of oil and 902K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 150 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 163K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through November 2025.
