Johnson L.K. #57 (API 42-101-30513) is a plugged well in Cottle County, plugged July 31, 2012, last operated by Nwg Operating LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 23, 1990, permitted to 4,800 ft.

It was permitted by Kuehne Oil Company and has since transferred to Nwg Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Gunsight, Cisco, Canyon.

Its lease has reported 157K barrels of oil and 66.2K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
