Kuderer Oil Unit #1 #7
Hardin County · Village Mills East (X-1) field · Vertical
Kuderer Oil Unit #1 #7 (API 42-199-00547) is a plugged well in Hardin County, plugged August 14, 2020, last operated by Murphy Exploration & Prod. CO..
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits (amended once) between 1978 and 2006, permitted to 7,035 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Murphy Exploration & Prod. CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including "O" Sand, "P" Sand, "Q" Sand, T-1.
Its 4 leases have reported 31K barrels of oil and 141K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in September 2021. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
