Crane County · Sand Hills (Judkins) field · Producing · Vertical
Mcknight M. B. #70 (API 42-103-00039) is a well in Crane County operated by Ring Energy Inc., completed January 27, 1997 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 18, 1996, permitted to 3,575 ft.
It was permitted by Pennzoil Exploration & Prod. CO. and has since transferred to Ring Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Red Bed, Red Bed & Satt, Salt & Anhydrite, Anhydrite & Gypsum.
Its 3 leases have reported 1.65M barrels of oil and 12.9M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 135 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
