Sullivan D. J. B #56 (API 42-047-31082) is a well in Brooks County operated by Exxon Corp., completed May 15, 1982.
The RRC has issued 5 drilling permits between 1981 and 2015, permitted to 9,400 ft.
It was permitted by Sue-Ann Operating, L.C. and has since transferred to Exxon Corp. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 3 leases have reported 139K barrels of oil and 534K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 31 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
