Brown Horace #23 (API 42-029-38324) is a well in Bexar County operated by Production Resources Inc., completed August 15, 2014 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 23, 2014, permitted to 950 ft.
It was permitted by Emerald Bay Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Production Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Wilcox, Escondido, Anacacho, Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 16.6K barrels of oil and 30 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 19 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
