Castro Gas Unit #2 #4
Chambers County · Double Bayou (Frio 8700) field · Vertical
Castro Gas Unit #2 #4 (API 42-071-32065) is a well in Chambers County operated by S & S Operating Company Inc., completed January 6, 1998.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1996 and 2015, permitted to 9,100 ft.
It was permitted by Fort Apache Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to S & S Operating Company Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Frio.
Its 4 leases have reported 46.9K barrels of oil and 303K mcf of gas since February 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Fort Apache Energy, Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
