Belcher W. T. B #15 (API 42-039-01285) is a plugged well in Brazoria County, plugged January 5, 1994, last operated by Denbury Onshore LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 31, 1987, permitted to 5,156 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco Inc. and has since transferred to Denbury Onshore LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 1.6M barrels of oil and 4.04M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in September 2025. The lease carries 37 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
