Read C. D. #9 (API 42-227-31713) is a well in Howard County operated by Sweet Crude Operating LLC, completed February 3, 1979.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 14, 1978, permitted to 3,000 ft.
It was permitted by American Petrofina CO. Of Tex. and has since transferred to Sweet Crude Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 59.6K barrels of oil and 22 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 15.3K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through December 2025.
Operator of record
Permitted by American Petrofina Co. of Tex.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
