East Vealmoor Unit #69 (API 42-227-32407) is a plugged well in Howard County, plugged May 19, 2025, last operated by Surge Operating LLC.

The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1981 and 1995, permitted to 7,600 ft.

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

Its 2 leases have reported 3.7M barrels of oil and 10.9M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 92 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
