Richey 54a #5 (API 42-235-31697) is a plugged well in Irion County, plugged September 25, 2025, last operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 22, 1981, 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.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Canyon.
Its 2 leases have reported 33.7K barrels of oil and 1.1M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 12 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
