North Riley Unit #229 (API 42-165-35576) is a well in Gaines County operated by Bce-Mach Iii LLC, completed March 24, 2025 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 21, 2000, permitted to 8,000 ft.

It was permitted by Pure Resources, L.P. and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Clear Fork, San Andres, Glorieta, Upr Clearfork.

Its lease has reported 27.3M barrels of oil and 15.7M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 404 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
