Walton J. B. #31 (API 42-495-03907) is a well in Winkler County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed February 22, 2008 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in September 1, 2024.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1978 and 1983, permitted to 9,791 ft.

It was permitted by Bass Enterprises Production CO. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including T/Yates, T/San Andres, T/Holt, T/Silurian.

Its 2 leases have reported 1.13M barrels of oil and 24.6M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 23 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.
