Brooks County · Mills Bennett (Consolidated) field · Producing · Vertical
Bennett Mills Estate Fee #62 (API 42-047-31872) is a well in Brooks County operated by Atlas Operating LLC, completed April 2, 2000 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1999 and 2017, permitted to 4,400 ft.
It was permitted by Gaither Petroleum Corporation and has since transferred to Atlas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Catahoula, Vicksburg.
Its 2 leases have reported 875K barrels of oil and 1.38M mcf of gas since February 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 50 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
