La Grange Ethel Est. Of #9 (API 42-029-30727) is a plugged well in Bexar County, plugged August 16, 2011, last operated by Drachen Oil Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 8, 1978, permitted to 1,310 ft.
It was permitted by Schimmel, V. I. and has since transferred to Drachen Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Olmos.
Its lease has reported 36.9K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 15 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
