McGill Bros. #517
Brooks County · Kelsey (Frio Consol.) field · Vertical
Mcgill Bros. #517 (API 42-047-31453) is a plugged well in Brooks County, plugged December 28, 2010, last operated by Exxon Mobil Corporation.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits (amended once) between 1985 and 1994, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Exxon Mobil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 90.7K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, with no volume in the three years through August 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Permitted by Exxon Corp.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
