Orson DR. #1 (API 42-317-33320) is a plugged well in Martin County, plugged June 6, 2023, last operated by Mule Kick Operating LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 23, 1985, permitted to 9,600 ft.

It was permitted by Carlow Corp. and has since transferred to Mule Kick Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Queen, Grayburg.

Its lease has reported 349K barrels of oil and 563K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
