Kirby #1UT
Tyler County · Highbaugh (Wilcox Rochna Sand) field · Producing · Vertical
Kirby #1UT (API 42-457-30453) is a well in Tyler County operated by Neches Transport Inc., completed May 20, 2003 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1991 and 2003, permitted to 10,500 ft.
It was permitted by American Coastal Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Neches Transport Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Yegua, Wilcox.
Its 3 leases have reported 93.7K barrels of oil and 2.76M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by American Coastal Energy, Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
