Wichita County · Wichita County Regular field · Injection · Vertical
Wichita-Taylor #44 (API 42-485-37054) is a well in Wichita County operated by Newport Operating LLC, completed October 3, 1997 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 10, 1980, permitted to 1,850 ft.
It was permitted by Brown & Fox and has since transferred to Newport Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Gunsight.
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.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 54.8K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through May 2025.
