Keith & Dowlen #21 (API 42-245-00276) is a plugged well in Jefferson County, plugged February 27, 2017, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.

The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1984 and 1987, permitted to 6,130 ft.

It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Marg C, Marg D.

Its 4 leases have reported 403K barrels of oil and 548K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 28 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
