Chappell J. E. #78 (API 42-081-31896) is a well in Coke County operated by Atlas Operating LLC, completed September 21, 2007.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 2007 and 2008, permitted to 7,500 ft.
It was permitted by Pioneer Exploration, Ltd. and has since transferred to Atlas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Wolfcamp, Cisco, Strawn, Mississippian.
Its 2 leases have reported 256K barrels of oil and 1.6M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 28 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
