Hardin County · Batson Old field · Producing · Vertical
Paraffine-Knight #86 (API 42-199-31848) is a well in Hardin County operated by Saratoga Oil Company, completed May 12, 1983 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 3, 1983, permitted to 450 ft.
It was permitted by Yust, C. F. & R. L. and has since transferred to Saratoga Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 27.3K barrels of oil and 16 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 25 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
