Chambers County · Oyster Bayou field · Vertical
Oyster Bayou Field Unit #12W (API 42-071-02295) is a plugged well in Chambers County, plugged November 1, 2017, last operated by Denbury Onshore LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 27, 1996, permitted to 8,530 ft.
It was permitted by Oryx Energy Company and has since transferred to Denbury Onshore LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Miocene (undifferentiated).
Its 2 leases have reported 25.8M barrels of oil and 15.6M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 163 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
