Martin County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Vertical
Richards D.E. D #1 (API 42-317-31637) is a plugged well in Martin County, plugged February 7, 2022, last operated by Cutbow Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 24, 1977, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Parker & Parsley, Inc. and has since transferred to Cutbow Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 201K barrels of oil and 456K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
