Belcher W. T. B #44
Brazoria County · Manvel (F.B. I Oligocene) field · Vertical
Belcher W. T. B #44 (API 42-039-30502) is a well in Brazoria County operated by Denbury Onshore LLC, completed February 12, 1987.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 9, 2002, permitted to 5,213 ft.
It was permitted by North Central Oil Corp. and has since transferred to Denbury Onshore LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Anahuac, Frio.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.67M barrels of oil and 4.11M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 39 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
