Chico Company #228E (API 42-383-38502) is a plugged well in Reagan County, plugged January 16, 2025, last operated by RP Operating L.L.C..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 29, 2013, permitted to 10,000 ft.

It was permitted by Fiml Natural Resources, LLC and has since transferred to RP Operating L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp, Canyon.

Its lease has reported 369K barrels of oil and 1.53M mcf of gas since December 2010, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 14 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.
