Andrews County · Fuhrman-Mascho field · Producing · Vertical
Ernesteen #6 (API 42-003-39728) is a well in Andrews County operated by Montare Operating Ltd., completed March 7, 2006 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 7, 2005, permitted to 4,735 ft.
It was permitted by OK Arena Operating Company and has since transferred to Montare Operating Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Yates, Graburg, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 188K barrels of oil and 161K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
