Brown & Cross #40 (API 42-485-35369) is a plugged well in Wichita County, plugged November 3, 1999, last operated by Waggoner Operating L.L.C..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 16, 1979, permitted to 2,000 ft.
It was permitted by Mobil Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Waggoner Operating L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Coleman Junction, Megargle Limestone, Noble Limestone.
Its lease has reported 223K barrels of oil and 155K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 39 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Mobil Oil Corporation; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
