Coke County · Bronte field · Producing · Vertical
Bronte Palo Pinto Unit #128 (API 42-081-00316) is a well in Coke County operated by R3 Operating Corporation, completed May 8, 1997 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1993 and 1996, permitted to 5,420 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to R3 Operating Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Palo Pinto, Capps, Goen, Gardner.
Its 4 leases have reported 1.33M barrels of oil and 545K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 40 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
