Kelsey Unit #M 8 (API 42-047-00982) is a plugged well in Brooks County, plugged October 13, 2010, last operated by Exxon Mobil Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 6, 2023, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by Overton Park Oil & Gas LP and has since transferred to Exxon Mobil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Catahoula, Frio, Miocene (undifferentiated).
Its 3 leases have reported 237K barrels of oil and 438K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 51 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
