E. H Welder #56 (API 42-057-31549) is a plugged well in Calhoun County, plugged June 21, 2022, last operated by B&L Resources L.L.C..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1996 and 1998, permitted to 6,700 ft.
It was permitted by Unit Petroleum Company and has since transferred to B&L Resources L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 11 formation tops, including Greta, 5400 # 1, 5400 #1, 5400 #1 Sd..
Its 3 leases have reported 12.7K barrels of oil and 244K mcf of gas since February 1997, last reporting in August 2022. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
