Kilcrease Bessie #1 (API 42-337-30255) is a plugged well in Montague County, plugged February 9, 1983, last operated by J & A Operating.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1977 and 1991, 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 one formation top, including Caddo.
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.
