Chambers County · High Island field · Vertical
NW 5-B-1 Lower Sand Unit #41 (API 42-071-02238) is a plugged well in Chambers County, plugged September 1, 1998, last operated by S & S Energy.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 4, 1978, permitted to 9,015 ft.
It was permitted by Placid Oil Company and has since transferred to S & S Energy on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 574K barrels of oil and 219K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 33 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
