Morton Unit #1 (API 42-079-31543) is a well in Cochran County operated by A.C.T. Operating Company, completed April 27, 1983 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 12, 1983, permitted to 4,900 ft.
It was permitted by Rogers, S. K. Oil CO. and has since transferred to A.C.T. Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 173K barrels of oil and 239K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 48 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
