Thornton 57 A #1 (API 42-441-32101) is a plugged well in Taylor County, plugged October 13, 2014, last operated by Robertson Resources Inc..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 25, 1982, permitted to 2,000 ft.

It was permitted by Chalmers Operating CO., Inc. and has since transferred to Robertson Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 11.7K barrels of oil and 25 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
