Loving AY Fee Oil Unit #1 (API 42-301-30789) is a plugged well in Loving County, plugged July 31, 2019, last operated by Diamondback E&P LLC.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1987 and 1997, permitted to 5,175 ft.

It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 95.2K barrels of oil and 261K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in June 2021. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
