Kilmer Earnest #28 (API 42-029-31061) is a plugged well in Bexar County, plugged October 3, 2002, last operated by J-Energy.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 30, 1980, permitted to 1,900 ft.

It was permitted by Gathings, W. G. and has since transferred to J-Energy on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 31 barrels of oil and 96 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
