Mcdonald #1 (API 42-013-31106) is a well in Atascosa County operated by Watson Energy Investments LLC, completed August 23, 1980 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 1, 1980, permitted to 4,700 ft.
It was permitted by Watson Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Watson Energy Investments LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 47.6K barrels of oil and 107 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
