Brazos County · Kurten (Woodbine) field · Shut In · Vertical
Kurten Woodbine Unit #117I (API 42-041-31159) is a well in Brazos County operated by Vess Oil Corporation, completed December 29, 2006 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in July 1, 2015.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 15, 1984, permitted to 8,800 ft.
It was permitted by Gulf Oil Corp. and has since transferred to Vess Oil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Woodbine, Woodbineb, Woodbinec.
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.
