Kilmer Ernest -A- #27 (API 42-029-31906) is a plugged well in Bexar County, plugged October 2, 2002, last operated by Cover Donald R..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 22, 1981, permitted to 1,800 ft.
It was permitted by Gathings, W. G. and has since transferred to Cover Donald R. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Navarro.
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.
Operator of record
Permitted by Gathings, W. G.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
