Kurten Woodbine Unit #1
Brazos County · Kurten (Woodbine) field · Producing · Vertical
Kurten Woodbine Unit #1 (API 42-041-30381) is a well in Brazos County operated by Vess Oil Corporation, completed June 5, 1990 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits in 1978, permitted to 9,800 ft.
It was permitted by Amalgamated Bonanza Petr. Ltd. and has since transferred to Vess Oil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Woodbine.
Its lease has reported 10.6M barrels of oil and 11.6M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 247 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
