Caldwell County · Buchanan field · Vertical
Zepeda #1A (API 42-055-34559) is a well in Caldwell County operated by Meb LLC, completed July 3, 1991.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1991 and 2012, permitted to 3,000 ft.
It was permitted by Southridge Operating Company and has since transferred to Meb LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Dale Lime, Serpentine, Austin Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 16.6K barrels of oil and 7.72K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
