Gaines County · Russell (Clearfork 7000) field · Vertical
Russell (Clearfork 7000) Unit #9 (API 42-165-01871) is a plugged well in Gaines County, plugged November 8, 1978, last operated by Xto Energy Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 25, 1978, permitted to 7,734 ft.
It was permitted by Mobil Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Xto Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 5.64M barrels of oil and 2.19M mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 310 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
