Hutchinson County · Panhandle Hutchinson County Fld. field · Producing · Vertical
Watkins #14 (API 42-233-30917) is a well in Hutchinson County operated by Bear Creek Operating, completed January 12, 1981 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 14, 1980, permitted to 3,000 ft.
It was permitted by Petro-Search, Inc. and has since transferred to Bear Creek Operating on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 22K barrels of oil and 136K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 18 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
