Johnson J. L. B #172 (API 42-135-35033) is a well in Ector County operated by BP America Production Company, completed September 19, 1990.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 22, 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 2 formation tops, including Yates, Grayburg.

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.

It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 1.97K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through October 2025.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
