Whitley Arth S. #1 (API 42-029-30592) is a plugged well in Bexar County, plugged March 6, 2023, last operated by Brander Sam H..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 29, 1977, permitted to 2,550 ft.

It was permitted by Bar M Petroleum CO., Inc. and has since transferred to Brander Sam H. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 2.65K barrels of oil and 35 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in May 2023. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
