Herrell E. Queen Sand Unit #1 (API 42-431-00148) is a plugged well in Sterling County, plugged July 14, 2009, last operated by Black River Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 17, 1983, permitted to 2,445 ft.
It was permitted by Marathon Oil Company and has since transferred to Black River Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 1.72M barrels of oil and 13K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in March 2026. The lease carries 61 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
