Coke County · I. A. B. (Strawn) field · Shut In · Vertical
Menielle L.B. #31 (API 42-081-31688) is a well in Coke County operated by Citation Oil & Gas Corp., completed April 9, 1997 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 1998.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1995 and 1997, permitted to 6,300 ft.
It was permitted by Oryx Energy Company and has since transferred to Citation Oil & Gas Corp. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Menielle Penn..
Its 2 leases have reported 4.65M barrels of oil and 26.9M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 99 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
