Knobloch A #40 (API 42-187-30848) is a well in Guadalupe County operated by Texas Petroleum Investment CO., completed November 17, 2000 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1978 and 2002, permitted to 2,490 ft.
It was permitted by Vintage Petroleum, Inc. and has since transferred to Texas Petroleum Investment CO. on the wellbore schedule.
