Sims Thomas P. #1 (API 42-497-32655) is a well in Wise County operated by Bkv Barnett LLC, completed October 29, 1984 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 20, 1983, permitted to 8,225 ft.
It was permitted by Mitchell Energy Corporation and has since transferred to Bkv Barnett LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 2.68M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
