Wichita County · Wichita County Regular field · Vertical
Murphree Estate #WP 8 (API 42-485-40498) is a plugged well in Wichita County, plugged September 17, 2008, last operated by Ktc Oil Enterprises LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 13, 1985, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Williams Petroleum Company and has since transferred to Ktc Oil Enterprises LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Permian (undifferentiated).
Its lease has reported 6.82K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 23 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
