East River Unit #69 (API 42-275-31894) is a plugged well in Knox County, plugged January 11, 1995, last operated by Kinder Morgan Production CO LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 26, 1988, permitted to 5,200 ft.

It was permitted by Standard Oil Production Company and has since transferred to Kinder Morgan Production CO LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report one formation top, including Strawn.

Its lease has reported 1.27M barrels of oil and 47.7K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in February 2010. The lease carries 44 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
