Champion Unit 1 #1 (API 42-351-30567) is a plugged horizontal well in Newton County, plugged November 22, 2023, last operated by Prize Exploration & Prod LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 19, 1993, permitted to 19,000 ft.

It was permitted by Union Pacific Resources Company and has since transferred to Prize Exploration & Prod LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Wilcox, Midway, Saratoga, Blossom.

Its 2 leases have reported 144K barrels of oil and 497K mcf of gas since November 1993, last reporting in October 2025. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
