Bunch Joe C #18 (API 42-055-33996) is a well in Caldwell County operated by Artemisia Energy Texas LLC, completed December 20, 1985 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 9, 1985, permitted to 2,600 ft.
It was permitted by Tri-City Oil Company and has since transferred to Artemisia Energy Texas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Chalk, Eagle Ford, Buda.
Its lease has reported 15.4K barrels of oil and 28 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 21 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
