Finch Nora -A- #57 (API 42-503-41271) is a well in Young County operated by Craig Oil Inc., completed July 28, 2005 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 22, 2005, permitted to 800 ft.
It was permitted by Hughes, Bill Drilling, Inc. and has since transferred to Craig Oil Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Gunsight.
Its lease has reported 95.7K barrels of oil and 139 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 31 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
