Shortes R. J. #1 (API 42-317-33552) is a plugged well in Martin County, plugged April 30, 2019, last operated by Southwest Royalties Inc..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 18, 1988, permitted to 10,000 ft.

It was permitted by Jet Oil CO. and has since transferred to Southwest Royalties Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including San Andres, Clear Fork, Spraberry, Dean.

Its lease has reported 53.1K barrels of oil and 277K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
