Palo Pinto County · Palo Pinto County Regular field · Vertical
Yeats #6 (API 42-363-31988) is a plugged well in Palo Pinto County, plugged November 8, 1996, last operated by Smith Pipe Of Abilene.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1978 and 2000, permitted to 4,270 ft.
It was permitted by Fossil Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Smith Pipe Of Abilene on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 457 barrels of oil and 2.28K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 75 barrels injected in the 12 months reported through May 2025.
