It would be very unusual to “drill” a stripper well.

Typically it is an old well that already paid for the drilling and infrastructure and was slowly still running.

Yes, it was an unusual case. I think drilling the well cost him $100k.

A lot of stripper wells are intentionally drilled on top of the domes where the cost to drill and produce is almost nothing and there is no spacing requirements.

Some of those wells are only about 1000ft even less.

A guy where I live used a water well rig to drill them.
