Quicksand Creek Field Unit #10 (API 42-351-00031) is a plugged well in Newton County, plugged July 16, 1974, last operated by Atlantic Richfield CO..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 22, 1995, permitted to 10,944 ft.

It was permitted by Caskids Operating Company and has since transferred to Atlantic Richfield CO. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Yegua, Wilcox.

Its 2 leases have reported 267K barrels of oil and 1.22M mcf of gas since July 1995, last reporting in June 2024. The leases carry 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
