Kilcrease Bessie #3
Montague County · Bowie NE. (Conglomerate) field · Shut IN · Vertical
Kilcrease Bessie #3 (API 42-337-00224) is a well in Montague County operated by J & A Operating, completed July 19, 1991 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1995 and 2000, permitted to 7,200 ft.
It was permitted by Continental Export Corp. and has since transferred to J & A Operating on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Palo Pinto, Strawn, Bend.
Its lease has reported 9.13K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
