NW 5-B-1 Lower Sand Unit #31 (API 42-071-02228) is a plugged well in Chambers County, plugged August 14, 1998, last operated by S & S Energy.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 7, 1979, permitted to 9,420 ft.
It was permitted by Placid Oil Company and has since transferred to S & S Energy on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 286K barrels of oil and 116K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 16 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
