Richards Ranch #N 16 (API 42-237-40040) is a well in Jack County operated by FX Energy Operating LLC, completed July 20, 2014.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2014 and 2018, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by White Knight Production LLC and has since transferred to FX Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 16 formation tops, including Palo Pinto, Strawn, Weir, Bryson.
Its 2 leases have reported 302K barrels of oil and 8.56M mcf of gas since July 2012, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 30 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
