LGB 73 Riley #2
Terry County · Brownfield SW. (Mississippian) field · Producing · Vertical
Lgb 73 Riley #2 (API 42-445-31705) is a well in Terry County operated by Aviator Energy LLC, completed June 11, 1996 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1994 and 1996, 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 2 leases have reported 57.5K barrels of oil and 146 mcf of gas since July 1994, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
