Mitchell County · Lucky Strike (Strawn) field · Producing · Vertical
Red Deer 27 #1 (API 42-335-34628) is a well in Mitchell County operated by Kek Exploration LLC, completed June 3, 2009 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2006 and 2009, permitted to 8,000 ft.
It was permitted by Bright & CO. and has since transferred to Kek Exploration LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 12 formation tops, including B/Vale, Vale, T/Wichita Albany, Wichita-Albany.
Its 2 leases have reported 65K barrels of oil and 224K mcf of gas since August 2006, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
