Wichita County · K-M-A field · Producing · Vertical
James Estate #1 (API 42-485-38771) is a well in Wichita County operated by Mountain Creek Oil Company Inc., completed January 31, 1984 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 14, 1983, permitted to 4,600 ft.
It was permitted by Swanson, Tom and has since transferred to Mountain Creek Oil Company Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including KMA.
Its lease has reported 31.6K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
