Frances Gunn #13 (API 42-227-03406) is a plugged well in Howard County, plugged July 17, 2024, last operated by Surge Operating LLC.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 2009 and 2011, permitted to 7,532 ft.

It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Surge Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including San Andres, Spraberry, Dean, Wolfcamp.

Its 3 leases have reported 3.91M barrels of oil and 11.1M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 105 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
