Luke Oil Company
OCC well records list 10 open wellbores (4 oil, 1 gas, 1 oil and gas, 3 injection or disposal and 1 other or unclassified) with a surface location in this section, plus 29 plugged and 1 temporarily abandoned, orphaned or on the state-funds plugging list.
Wellbores are counted by surface location. A horizontal well drilled from a neighboring section can produce from this one without being counted here; the orders above are the better guide to that.
| Operator | Open wellbores |

| Luke Oil Company | 10 |
