Kempner #15 (API 42-485-37833) is a plugged well in Wichita County, plugged December 16, 2015, last operated by Kennemer Darrell.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 21, 1981, permitted to 1,900 ft.
It was permitted by Koonce Oil Company and has since transferred to Kennemer Darrell on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 5.87K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
