Chambers County · Red Fish Reef (FB a-1 Frio 22B) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
State Tract 247 #192 (API 42-071-31457) is a well in Chambers County operated by Galveston Bay Operating CO LLC, completed February 5, 1993 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in November 1, 2001.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits between 1983 and 1996, permitted to 12,900 ft.
It was permitted by Vintage Petroleum, Inc. and has since transferred to Galveston Bay Operating CO LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Anahuac, Frio.
Its 2 leases have reported 9.24K barrels of oil and 1.78M mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
