Sureshot #1 (API 42-389-31692) is a plugged well in Reeves County, plugged February 26, 2009, last operated by Madison And Wright LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 4, 1985, permitted to 4,600 ft.

It was permitted by Blair Royalties Of Orla, Inc. and has since transferred to Madison And Wright LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Base Salt, Delaware, Rop Delaware, Ramsey.

Its 2 leases have reported 94.6K barrels of oil and 196K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
