Brazos County · Kurten (Woodbine) field · Vertical
Kurten Woodbine Unit #1 (API 42-041-30524) is a plugged well in Brazos County, plugged June 11, 2014, last operated by Vess Oil Corporation.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 1983, permitted to 9,400 ft.
It was permitted by Gulf Oil Corp. and has since transferred to Vess Oil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 10.6M barrels of oil and 11.6M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 247 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
