Ward County · Ward South field · Vertical
Mcdonald Unit #9-B (API 42-475-32282) is a plugged well in Ward County, plugged November 24, 2015, last operated by United Oil & Shale LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 24, 1981, permitted to 3,200 ft.
It was permitted by Walsh & Watts, Inc. and has since transferred to United Oil & Shale LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 468K barrels of oil and 113K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 47 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
