The Sauder "A" unit is one of R2Q Operating’s flagship KMA Field positions, ranking #3 in Wichita County by Feb 2026 production. More notably, the unit is home to the #1 individual producing oil well in Wichita County: Sauder "A" 17, completed into the KMA Lime carbonate.
The Sauder family-name lease originally dates to the early 20th century KMA Field development era. R2Q’s modern operating philosophy — optimized injection patterns, modern artificial lift, selective re-completions — has revived the unit into one of the most productive positions in north Texas. For more on the broader program, see our KMA Field guide.
Operator-side risk is low. The presence of the county’s top individual well on this unit is a strong endorsement of R2Q’s waterflood execution.
