Hamblen #1 (API 42-051-31038) is a plugged well in Burleson County, plugged November 4, 1997, last operated by Jessco Energy Inc.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 1996, permitted to 10,000 ft.
It was permitted by Bellwether Exploration Company and has since transferred to Jessco Energy Inc on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford.
Its 2 leases have reported 17.4K barrels of oil and 316K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2015. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
