Kunkel B #1 (API 42-447-35198) is a well in Throckmorton County operated by Dcs Energy, completed August 9, 1991 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 8, 1991, permitted to 1,500 ft.
It was permitted by Bearco Operating CO., Inc. and has since transferred to Dcs Energy on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Fry, Cook, King.
Its lease has reported 29.2K barrels of oil and 2.47K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
