Townsend W. R. #1 (API 42-151-01847) is a well in Fisher County operated by Walton Producing Inc., completed April 1, 1954.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 14, 1991, permitted to 4,570 ft.
It was permitted by American Exploration Company and has since transferred to Walton Producing Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Flippen, Swastika, Canyon, Royston.
Its 2 leases have reported 28K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
