North Riley Unit #1053 (API 42-165-34475) is a well in Gaines County operated by Bce-Mach Iii LLC, completed January 16, 2024 and listed as partial plug on the RRC schedule, shut in October 1, 2022.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 27, 1992, permitted to 7,310 ft.
It was permitted by Union Oil Company Of California and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Glorieta, Clear Fork.
Its lease has reported 27.3M barrels of oil and 15.7M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 404 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
