Chambers County · Anahuac field · Injection · Vertical
Knowles W. T. #15 (API 42-071-31917) is a well in Chambers County operated by Mcgowan Working Partners Inc., completed March 30, 1998 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 27, 1989, permitted to 2,200 ft.
It was permitted by Mcgowan, John W. and has since transferred to Mcgowan Working Partners Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 508K barrels of oil and 648K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 1.29M barrels injected in the 12 months reported through October 2025.
