Elsea-Dfs 1985 #13 (API 42-485-40826) is a well in Wichita County operated by Luke D.L. Oil CO., completed January 16, 1986 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 4, 1985, permitted to 1,800 ft.
It was permitted by Monroe Well Service, Inc. and has since transferred to Luke D.L. Oil CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Thomas Sand, Top Megargel Limestone, Top Gunsite Sand.
Its lease has reported 72.1K barrels of oil and 50 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 22 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
