Vychopen A #1 (API 42-051-30617) is a plugged well in Burleson County, plugged August 2, 2000, last operated by Mag Exploration LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 12, 1980, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Geodynamics Oil & Gas, Inc. and has since transferred to Mag Exploration LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 174K barrels of oil and 1.06M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
