Martin County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Vertical
Epley -31- #1 (API 42-317-32047) is a plugged well in Martin County, plugged January 3, 2001, last operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 17, 1978, permitted to 9,200 ft.
It was permitted by Mgf Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Pioneer Natural Res. USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 67.2K barrels of oil and 128K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
