Roche K. D. A #20 (API 42-391-03148) is a plugged well in Refugio County, plugged April 18, 2018, last operated by Kovar Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1994 and 1996, permitted to 6,836 ft.
It was permitted by H & D Operating Company and has since transferred to Kovar Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 208K barrels of oil and 659K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in November 2020. The leases carry 20 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
