Compton #9 (API 42-441-33400) is a plugged well in Taylor County, plugged November 21, 2001, last operated by Benson & Schoen Oil CO. Inc..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 4, 1989, permitted to 4,800 ft.

It was permitted by Davis Brothers and has since transferred to Benson & Schoen Oil CO. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Home Creek, Palo Pinto, Gardner Lime, Gray Sand.

Its lease has reported 26.3K barrels of oil and 160K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in December 2001. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
