English J. J. #23A (API 42-417-37056) is a well in Shackelford County operated by Tabor Creek Oil Company, completed July 8, 1987 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 11, 1987, permitted to 650 ft.
It was permitted by Whitt, W. J. and has since transferred to Tabor Creek Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Dothan Shale, Frye Sand, Saddle Creek, Flippen Sand.
Its lease has reported 37.2K barrels of oil and 15 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
