Crane County · Dune field · Vertical
Texas University Sec. 15 & 16 #1540 (API 42-103-31948) is a well in Crane County operated by Crescent Energy Operating LLC, completed November 29, 1978.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 4, 1978, permitted to 3,800 ft.
It was permitted by Mobil Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Crescent Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 954K barrels of oil and 392K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 101 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
