Sanford J. M. E #16 (API 42-233-30827) is a well in Hutchinson County operated by Topper Oil Company, completed September 9, 1982 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 31, 1980, permitted to 3,600 ft.
It was permitted by Blade Oil CO. and has since transferred to Topper Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Brown Dolomite, Arkosic Dolomite, Granite Wash.
Its lease has reported 47.8K barrels of oil and 833K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 90.5K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through September 2025.
