Ferguson -A- #12B (API 42-009-41049) is a well in Archer County operated by DM Backhoe Service, completed July 16, 1996 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 22, 1996, permitted to 1,800 ft.
It was permitted by Apache Production Company and has since transferred to DM Backhoe Service on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Shale, Watersand, Shale/Lime/Streaks.
Its lease has reported 96.9K barrels of oil and 48 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 24 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
