West Bear #15
Wichita County · Wichita County Regular field · Vertical
West Bear #15 (API 42-485-41380) is a plugged well in Wichita County, plugged January 12, 2000, last operated by Bargo Energy Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 22, 1987, permitted to 1,900 ft.
It was permitted by Krot Oil CO. and has since transferred to Bargo Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Gunsight.
Its lease has reported 6.37K barrels of oil and 43 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in November 2000. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Krot Oil Co.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
