Drought 156 #9 (API 42-131-39604) is a well in Duval County operated by Mountain V Texas LLC, completed November 3, 2017 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 2, 2017, permitted to 1,700 ft.
It was permitted by Smith Production Inc. and has since transferred to Mountain V Texas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 9 formation tops, including 700 Sand, Jackson, Yegua, Catahoula.
Its lease has reported 93.4K barrels of oil since November 2017, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
