Mcknight M. B. #178 (API 42-103-34684) is a well in Crane County operated by Ring Energy Inc., completed October 26, 2005 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in March 1, 2025.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1999 and 2005, permitted to 6,205 ft.
It was permitted by Devon Energy Production CO, L.P. and has since transferred to Ring Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Glorieta, Tubb.
Its 2 leases have reported 4.89M barrels of oil and 29M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 178 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
