Chambers County · Alligator Bayou (8200 Frio) field · Directional
Miller Gas Unit #1 (API 42-071-00983) is a disposal or injection well in Chambers County operated by American Petrofina CO. Of Tex. under an active UIC permit.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1981 and 1997, permitted to 8,476 ft.
It was permitted by Wagner, Duer & CO. and has since transferred to American Petrofina CO. Of Tex. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Heterostegina, Frio.
Its 2 leases have reported 12.8K barrels of oil and 274K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
