Kotara ET AL #1 (API 42-493-32430) is a plugged well in Wilson County, plugged June 29, 2017, last operated by Texstar Drilling Inc..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1995 and 1996, permitted to 2,200 ft.
It was permitted by Cimarron Engineering Corp. and has since transferred to Texstar Drilling Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Carrizo.
Its 3 leases have reported 194 barrels of oil and 65.8K mcf of gas since January 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
