Talco West Unit #78 (API 42-159-30387) is a well in Franklin County operated by J.P. Oil Company Inc., completed April 20, 2017 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 1, 1985, permitted to 4,440 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to J.P. Oil Company Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Blossom, Woodbine, Goodland.
Its 2 leases have reported 5.24M barrels of oil and 23 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in March 2026. The leases carry 326 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
