Burleson County · Willard (Navarro) field · Vertical
Tarwater A #1 (API 42-051-31602) is a plugged well in Burleson County, plugged September 27, 2002, last operated by Ernest Operating Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 2, 1981, permitted to 3,700 ft.
It was permitted by Hollub, Lambert Drilling Company and has since transferred to Ernest Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.5K barrels of oil and 36.3K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2008. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
