Orsborn Unit #17 (API 42-275-00373) is a plugged well in Knox County, plugged August 23, 1994, last operated by Apache Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 10, 1985, permitted to 5,133 ft.
It was permitted by Conoco Inc. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 154K barrels of oil and 22.8K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 18 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Conoco Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
