Morton #7 (API 42-165-36624) is a well in Gaines County operated by Vin Fisher Operating Inc., completed September 23, 2006 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 27, 2006, permitted to 5,450 ft.
It was permitted by Chaparral Energy, L.L.C. and has since transferred to Vin Fisher Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Yates, Grayburg, San Andres.
Its 2 leases have reported 316K barrels of oil and 82.5K mcf of gas since November 2004, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 3.02K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through October 2025.
