Quicksand Creek Field Unit #16 (API 42-351-00011) is a plugged well in Newton County, plugged July 24, 1972, last operated by Atlantic Richfield CO..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 6, 1998, permitted to 10,400 ft.
It was permitted by Axis Energy Corporation and has since transferred to Atlantic Richfield CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 216K barrels of oil and 1.18M mcf of gas since January 1996, last reporting in June 2024. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
