Lgb 73 Riley #1 (API 42-445-31698) is a plugged well in Terry County, plugged July 29, 2021, last operated by Aviator Energy LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued March 28, 1994, permitted to 13,000 ft.

It was permitted by American Cometra, Inc. and has since transferred to Aviator Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Strawn, Mississippian, Fusselman.

Its lease has reported 24.6K barrels of oil and 3 mcf of gas since July 1994, 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.
