Wichita County · Wichita County Regular field · Vertical
Wichita-Taylor #41 (API 42-485-35881) is a well in Wichita County operated by Newport Operating LLC, completed January 3, 1980.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 26, 1979, permitted to 900 ft.
It was permitted by Brown & Fox and has since transferred to Newport Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 34.5K barrels of oil and 186 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 20 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
