Johnson J. L. B #171 (API 42-135-34964) is a well in Ector County operated by BP America Production Company, completed June 4, 1985.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 30, 1985, permitted to 4,500 ft.
It was permitted by Arco Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to BP America Production Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Yates, Grayburg, San Andres.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.22M barrels of oil and 931K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 112 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
