Kleberg County · Stratton (Wardner West C.) field · Vertical
King Ranch Stratton #A72 (API 42-273-30231) is a plugged well in Kleberg County, plugged July 29, 1991, last operated by Exxon Mobil Corporation.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1978 and 1985, permitted to 7,520 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Exxon Mobil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 17.1K barrels of oil and 46.4K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in April 2006. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
