Kenas B #1 (API 42-337-31901) is a plugged well in Montague County, plugged January 8, 2003, last operated by Esp Energy LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 6, 1982, permitted to 3,000 ft.
It was permitted by Mountain Creek Oil CO. and has since transferred to Esp Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 4.42K barrels of oil and 144 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
