Kurten Woodbine Unit #1
Brazos County · Kurten (Woodbine) field · Horizontal
Kurten Woodbine Unit #1 (API 42-041-31171) is a horizontal well in Brazos County operated by Vess Oil Corporation, completed December 1, 1984.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1984 and 1995, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Cody Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Vess Oil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Woodbine.
Its 2 leases have reported 10.7M barrels of oil and 11.7M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 248 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
