Mcfaddin W.P.H. #255 (API 42-245-31221) is a plugged well in Jefferson County, plugged March 31, 2023, last operated by Kingwood Exploration LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 12, 1978, permitted to 5,800 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Kingwood Exploration LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 496K barrels of oil and 46.5K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 18 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
