Orange County · Port Neches field · Producing · Directional
Stark #18 (API 42-361-30804) is a well in Orange County operated by Kodiak Oil & Gas Inc., completed May 21, 2005 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued July 28, 2003, permitted to 4,000 ft.
It was permitted by Bend Petroleum Corp. and has since transferred to Kodiak Oil & Gas Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 318K barrels of oil since January 2004, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
