Earnest (Lake Sand) Unit #1
Eastland County · Ranger (Black Lime West) field · Vertical
Earnest (Lake Sand) Unit #1 (API 42-133-34430) is a plugged well in Eastland County, plugged December 5, 2023, last operated by Eastland Operating L.L.C..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 18, 1982, permitted to 3,650 ft.
It was permitted by Ridge Oil Company and has since transferred to Eastland Operating L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Lake Sand.
Its lease has reported 2.74K barrels of oil and 128K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Ridge Oil Company; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
