Denny Earle A #9-A (API 42-485-38617) is a well in Wichita County operated by DM Backhoe Service, completed May 10, 1984 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2016.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 9, 1982, permitted to 1,320 ft.
It was permitted by Strange, D. D. and has since transferred to DM Backhoe Service on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Red Bed, Gravel, Shale, Cisco.
Its lease has reported 16.2K barrels of oil and 111 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 14 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
