Mcfaddin Ranch #12 (API 42-245-30237) is a permitted well in Jefferson County filed by Kingwood Exploration LLC; no completion report is on file yet.
The RRC has issued 6 drilling permits (amended once) between 1983 and 2016, permitted to 7,520 ft.
It was permitted by Kingwood Exploration LLC and has since transferred to Coalinga Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Miocene (undifferentiated).
Its 5 leases have reported 596K barrels of oil and 164K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
