WELL · 42-181-30671 · DISTRICT 9
Super Unit #448
Grayson County · Big Mineral Creek (Consolidated) field · Producing · Vertical
Super Unit #448 (API 42-181-30671) is a well in Grayson County operated by Flintlock Exploration LLC, completed June 1, 2003 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1979 and 1988, permitted to 6,200 ft.
It was permitted by Shell Western E&P Inc. and has since transferred to Flintlock Exploration LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Strawn.
Its 3 leases have reported 3.02M barrels of oil and 1.59M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 225 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
