Viboras Field Gas Unit #68
Brooks County · Viboras (Frio Cons.) field · Vertical
Viboras Field Gas Unit #68 (API 42-047-30599) is a plugged well in Brooks County, plugged November 17, 2000, last operated by Exxon Mobil Corporation.
The RRC has issued 5 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1977 and 1999, permitted to 9,100 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Exxon Mobil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 8 leases have reported 16.7K barrels of oil and 123K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in November 2000. The leases carry 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
