Bailey #1 (API 42-173-31400) is a plugged well in Glasscock County, plugged May 1, 2023, last operated by Vital Energy Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 21, 1983, permitted to 11,500 ft.
It was permitted by L & B Oil CO. Inc. and has since transferred to Vital Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Wolfcamp, Strawn, Woodford, Devonian.
Its 4 leases have reported 8.27K barrels of oil and 536K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in June 2024. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
