Young County · Young County Regular field · Vertical
Benson #6 (API 42-503-32671) is a plugged well in Young County, plugged November 8, 2004, last operated by E & J Enterprises.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 15, 1978, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Riley, Bob and has since transferred to E & J Enterprises on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Gunsite.
Its lease has reported 1.21K barrels of oil and 18 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Riley, Bob; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
