Shelton Frances Sears #9 (API 42-441-33045) is a well in Taylor County operated by Star Production Inc., completed November 6, 1985 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 9, 1985, permitted to 3,200 ft.
It was permitted by Gillum, Cecil C. and has since transferred to Star Production Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including B/Coleman Junction, T/Saddle Creek, T/Flippen Sand.
Its lease has reported 248K barrels of oil and 395 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
