James 29 #1
Midland County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Vertical
James 29 #1 (API 42-329-34654) is a plugged well in Midland County, plugged March 28, 2016, last operated by Diamondback E&P LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 4, 2001, permitted to 9,400 ft.
It was permitted by Energen Resources Corporation and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including San Andres, Glorieta, Clear Fork, Spraberry.
Its lease has reported 130K barrels of oil and 207K mcf of gas since October 2001, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
