Richey 54a #3 (API 42-235-31658) is a plugged well in Irion County, plugged January 16, 1992, last operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 5, 1980, permitted to 7,400 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 33.4K barrels of oil and 1.08M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
