Bennett Mills Estate #1NC (API 42-047-31645) is a well in Brooks County operated by North Central Oil Corp., completed October 6, 1993.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1993 and 1997, permitted to 8,800 ft.
It was permitted by Gaither Petroleum Corporation and has since transferred to North Central Oil Corp. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Frio, Hockley, Yegua.
Its 3 leases have reported 881K barrels of oil and 1.38M mcf of gas since October 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 51 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
