Alley A #1
Gaines County · Tex-Mex SE. (Wichita Albany) field · Shut In · Vertical
Alley A #1 (API 42-165-33421) is a well in Gaines County operated by Crescent Energy Operating LLC, completed September 16, 2005 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 2015.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 13, 1985, permitted to 7,650 ft.
It was permitted by Petroleum Technical Services CO. and has since transferred to Crescent Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Tubb, Wichita-Albany.
Its lease has reported 927K barrels of oil and 3.1M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 21 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
