Kunkel #1
Young County · James field · Vertical
Kunkel #1 (API 42-503-34186) is a well in Young County operated by Ridge Oil Company, completed January 9, 1981.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 4, 1980, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Bryan, Kenneth and has since transferred to Ridge Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 4.22M barrels of oil and 183 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 170 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
