Kocurek A #1 (API 42-287-32265) is a plugged well in Lee County, plugged October 7, 2002, last operated by Ernest Operating Company.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 15, 1989, permitted to 4,800 ft.

It was permitted by Crescent Exploration Company and has since transferred to Ernest Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Wilcox, Navarro.

Its 2 leases have reported 602 barrels of oil and 5.98K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 2003. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
