Herrell E. Queen Sand Unit #505
Sterling County · Herrell East (Queen Sand) field · NO Production · Vertical
Herrell E. Queen Sand Unit #505 (API 42-431-32913) is a well in Sterling County operated by Black River Operating LLC, completed January 15, 1998 and listed as no production on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 11, 1997, permitted to 2,600 ft.
It was permitted by Marathon Oil Company and has since transferred to Black River Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Queen.
Its lease has reported 1.72M barrels of oil and 13K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 61 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Marathon Oil Company; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
