Walnut Bend Field Unit NO. 2 #301 (API 42-097-02438) is a former disposal or injection well in Cooke County, last operated by Arco Oil & Gas CO.; its UIC permit is no longer active.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits (amended once) between 1977 and 2007, permitted to 5,500 ft.
It was permitted by Cimarex Energy CO. Of Colorado and has since transferred to Arco Oil & Gas CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Cox, Bruhlmeyer, Hudspeth, Consolidated.
Its 3 leases have reported 6.72M barrels of oil and 1.38M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 374 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
