Patton J. M. #7 (API 42-475-31568) is a plugged well in Ward County, plugged January 27, 2015, last operated by K3 Productions LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 12, 1977, permitted to 2,400 ft.

It was permitted by Three-B Oil Company, The and has since transferred to K3 Productions LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 27.1K barrels of oil and 158 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
