Murphey #1 (API 42-235-32607) is a plugged well in Irion County, plugged January 17, 2013, last operated by J & J Well Service Inc..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 27, 1985, permitted to 7,300 ft.

It was permitted by Verdad Oil & Gas Corporation and has since transferred to J & J Well Service Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including B/San Angelo, Clear Fork, Leonard, Wolfcamp.

Its lease has reported 10.2K barrels of oil and 145K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
