Sterling County · Lonesome Dove (Miss) field · Producing · Vertical
Blue 15 #1 (API 42-431-33249) is a well in Sterling County operated by Kek Exploration LLC, completed May 15, 2009 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2008 and 2009, permitted to 8,500 ft.
It was permitted by Bright & CO. and has since transferred to Kek Exploration LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including T/Strawn, Mississippian, T/Mississippian, T/Ellenburger.
Its 2 leases have reported 218K barrels of oil and 168K mcf of gas since January 2009, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
