Macha L. W. #15 (API 42-023-31310) is a plugged well in Baylor County, plugged November 16, 2020, last operated by Bep Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 6, 1986, permitted to 1,350 ft.
It was permitted by Gopec, Inc. and has since transferred to Bep Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Tannehill.
Its lease has reported 17.1K barrels of oil and 22 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 14 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
