Chambers County · Oyster Bayou field · Vertical
Middleton Archie #15 (API 42-071-31844) is a well in Chambers County operated by Denbury Onshore LLC, completed March 31, 1988.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued October 27, 1987, permitted to 13,000 ft.
It was permitted by Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Lafayette and has since transferred to Denbury Onshore LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 12 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Heterostegina Marker, Marginulina Marker, Frio.
Its 2 leases have reported 23.2M barrels of oil and 1.23M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 114 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
