Howell G. L. #15
Knox County · Katz field · Vertical
Howell G. L. #15 (API 42-275-32172) is a well in Knox County operated by Cholla Petroleum Inc., completed September 13, 2002.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 14, 2001, permitted to 5,300 ft.
It was permitted by Belco Energy Corp. and has since transferred to Cholla Petroleum Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Coleman Junction, Des Moines, Strawn, "K" Lime.
Its 2 leases have reported 379K barrels of oil and 12K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 25 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 264 barrels injected in the 12 months reported through September 2025.
