Johnson Ranch Unit #420
Gray County · Panhandle Gray County Field field · Shut In · Vertical
Johnson Ranch Unit #420 (API 42-179-32128) is a well in Gray County operated by Bce-Mach Iii LLC, completed March 5, 1996 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in September 1, 2002.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 6, 1995, permitted to 2,955 ft.
It was permitted by Phillips Petroleum Company and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Red Cave, Panhandle Lime, Brown Dolomite.
Its lease has reported 1.3M barrels of oil and 286K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 69 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
