Brooks County · Mills Bennett (Consolidated) field · Producing · Vertical
Bennett Mills Estate Fee #29 (API 42-047-00400) is a well in Brooks County operated by Atlas Operating LLC, completed August 1, 1995 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule, shut in March 1, 2023.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 24, 1995, permitted to 6,010 ft.
It was permitted by Gaither Petroleum Corporation and has since transferred to Atlas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 899K barrels of oil and 1.4M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 53 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
