WELL · 42-503-40874 · DISTRICT 9
Shoemate #1
Young County · Young County Regular (Gas) field · Vertical
Shoemate #1 (API 42-503-40874) is a well in Young County operated by BB & D Exploration Inc., completed December 9, 1997.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1997 and 2010, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Brown, Darryl Operating L.L.C. and has since transferred to BB & D Exploration Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Mississippian.
Its 3 leases have reported 25K barrels of oil and 124K mcf of gas since December 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Brown, Darryl Operating L.L.C.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
