Thigpen. Robert #9 (API 42-145-30746) is a plugged well in Falls County, plugged June 20, 1997, last operated by Searchers Exploration.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 7, 1996, permitted to 1,100 ft.
It was permitted by K & D Enterprises, Inc. and has since transferred to Searchers Exploration on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 10.3K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
