Wichita County · Wichita County Regular field · Vertical
Prothro C. E #17 (API 42-485-44442) is a well in Wichita County operated by R2q Operating LLC, completed December 3, 2008.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued May 28, 2008, permitted to 2,000 ft.
It was permitted by Texas Energy Operations, LC and has since transferred to R2q Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Gunsight.
Its 2 leases have reported 208K barrels of oil and 23 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 44 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 443K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through May 2025.
