Mcfaddin W.P.H. #270 (API 42-245-31719) is a plugged well in Jefferson County, plugged January 31, 1994, last operated by Kingwood Exploration LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 19, 1983, permitted to 4,500 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Kingwood Exploration LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Miocene (undifferentiated).
Its lease has reported 496K barrels of oil and 46.5K 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.
