Irion County · Probandt (Canyon) field · Vertical
Richey Sec. 42 A #2 (API 42-235-31511) is a plugged well in Irion County, plugged April 3, 1996, last operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 5, 1980, permitted to 7,300 ft.
It was permitted by Indian Wells Oil Company and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 51.5K barrels of oil and 736K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in January 2024. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
