Archer County · Archer County Regular field · Injection · Vertical
Prothro #1 (API 42-009-42627) is a well in Archer County operated by Jlw Operations LLC, completed February 8, 2016 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 10, 2013, permitted to 5,200 ft.
It was permitted by Southern Exploration, Inc. and has since transferred to Jlw Operations LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including KMA.
Its lease has reported 22.4K barrels of oil since November 2013, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 2.47K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through December 2025.
