Ferguson #20 (API 42-485-41180) is a plugged well in Wichita County, plugged December 12, 1987, last operated by Akins Oil Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 12, 1986, permitted to 1,500 ft.
It was permitted by Vestal, W. D., Oil CO. and has since transferred to Akins Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 63.2K barrels of oil and 166 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
