Kirk J.R. Gas Unit #7 (API 42-409-03231) is a plugged well in San Patricio County, plugged May 25, 2017, last operated by Oxoco Exploration&Production Inc.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1984 and 1998, permitted to 7,006 ft.
It was permitted by Mueller Engineering Corp. and has since transferred to Oxoco Exploration&Production Inc on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), T/Miocene, Catahoula, T/Catahoula.
Its 2 leases have reported 3.41K barrels of oil and 71.5K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
