R2Q’s Modern KMA Field Strategy

R2Q Operating is the modern consolidator of the historic KMA Field in Wichita County, Texas. Beginning around 2009, R2Q began acquiring fragmented KMA Field positions and modernizing the secondary-recovery program. Through the 2010s and into the 2020s, R2Q built one of the most productive secondary-recovery operations in north Texas.

R2Q’s operating philosophy combines:

Optimized injection patterns — modeled sweep efficiency rather than legacy ad-hoc patterns inherited from mid-century operators

Modern artificial lift — selective pump-off control, gas lift on lower-rate wells, rod/tubing programs sized for current rates

Selective re-completions — targeting deeper or laterally-displaced KMA / KMA Lime intervals

Unit consolidation — absorbing smaller fragmented positions (Mangold, Sauder, Kempner, Bradley Ranch, Lowry, J&J Waggoner) into one operating umbrella

What This Means for Mineral Owners

If your mineral interest is operated by R2Q Operating, three things follow:

Operator-side risk is low. R2Q is well-capitalized, technically modern, and demonstrably committed to the KMA Field for the long haul. This supports lower discount rates in valuation.

Reserve life is long. R2Q’s actively-managed waterflood typically extends unit life by decades vs. legacy operating practices.

Royalty payments are reliable. Modern operators with consolidated positions tend to maintain accurate division of interest accounting and pay on time.
