Mcknight M.B. #196 (API 42-103-34809) is a well in Crane County operated by Ring Energy Inc., completed June 5, 2001.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 2001 and 2021, permitted to 6,700 ft.

It was permitted by Stronghold Energy II Oper, LLC and has since transferred to Ring Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Holt, Clear Fork, Tubb, Wichita-Albany.

Its 4 leases have reported 13M barrels of oil and 64.5M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 331 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
