Mclaughlin #16 (API 42-341-33449) is a well in Moore County operated by Oilwell Operators Inc., completed June 25, 2017 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 28, 2017, permitted to 2,600 ft.
It was permitted by Drain Oil CO. LLC and has since transferred to Oilwell Operators Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Red Cave, Brown Dolomite, Cimmaron, Ellenburger.
Its lease has reported 165K barrels of oil and 108K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 16 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
