Prothro N W (A) #6 (API 42-485-37620) is a plugged well in Wichita County, plugged April 14, 2016, last operated by R2q Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 16, 1981, permitted to 1,800 ft.
It was permitted by Minor, Bill and has since transferred to R2q Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 86.5K barrels of oil and 30 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 30 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
