Chambers County · Oyster Bayou field · Producing · Vertical
Oyster Bayou Field Unit #6 (API 42-071-02337) is a well in Chambers County operated by Denbury Onshore LLC, completed January 18, 2022 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 29, 1995, permitted to 8,572 ft.
It was permitted by Oryx Energy Company and has since transferred to Denbury Onshore LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 13 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Heterostegina, Top Ahahuac Heterostegina, Het Marker.
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.
