WELL · 42-485-41698 · DISTRICT 9
Kempner #5
Wichita County · Wichita County Regular field · Vertical
Kempner #5 (API 42-485-41698) is a plugged well in Wichita County, plugged April 24, 2007, last operated by Muller Oil & Gas.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 25, 1988, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Jpr Petroleum Operations, Inc. and has since transferred to Muller Oil & Gas on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Cisco.
Its lease has reported 603 barrels of oil and 37 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2008. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by JPR Petroleum Operations, Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
