Brooks County · Kelsey (Frio Consol.) field · Vertical
Mcgill Bros. Nct-1 B #53-F (API 42-047-30155) is a plugged well in Brooks County, plugged August 26, 2006, last operated by Chevron U. S. A. Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 13, 1978, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco Inc. and has since transferred to Chevron U. S. A. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 4 leases have reported 23 barrels of oil and 1 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in January 2013. The leases carry 23 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
