Bentley #1
Wichita County · Wichita County Regular field · Producing · Vertical
Bentley #1 (API 42-485-43525) is a well in Wichita County operated by Royal Petroleum CO., completed April 5, 2000 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 18, 2000, permitted to 2,000 ft.
It was permitted by Hood, J. Frank, JR. and has since transferred to Royal Petroleum CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Thomas Sand.
Its lease has reported 5.74K barrels of oil since April 2000, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Hood, J. Frank, Jr.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
