Chambers County · Anahuac field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Middleton A. D. A/C #1 #96 (API 42-071-31296) is a well in Chambers County operated by Rising Star Energy Partners II, completed August 17, 1998 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in October 1, 2000.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 4, 1982, permitted to 7,200 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Rising Star Energy Partners II on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Discorbis, Het Lime, Frio.
Its 2 leases have reported 300K barrels of oil and 6.65M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 36 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
