The Kempner unit ranks #4 in Wichita County by Feb 2026 production and is one of R2Q Operating’s core KMA Field positions. The unit targets the KMA / KMA Lime pay zone alongside the Mangold KMA Waterflood (#1), Sauder "A" (#3), and Bradley Ranch -A- (#5) units in R2Q’s consolidated operating umbrella.
The Kempner family-name lease traces to the early 20th century KMA Field development era. Modern operating practices have extended its productive life by decades through optimized waterflood patterns and selective re-completion programs.
Operator-side risk is low. Kempner is part of one of the cleanest secondary-recovery operations in north Texas.
