Karnes County · Sugarkane (Eagle Ford) field · Producing · Horizontal
Kotara-Ridley Unit #17H (API 42-255-35033) is a horizontal well in Karnes County operated by Devon Energy Production CO L.P., completed March 16, 2026 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule, shut in July 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued June 15, 2016, permitted to 12,566 ft.
It was permitted by Encana Oil & Gas(USA) Inc. and has since transferred to Devon Energy Production CO L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Yegua, Queen City, Reklaw, Carrizo.
Its 3 leases have reported 1.88M barrels of oil and 7.22M mcf of gas since March 2016, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 15 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
