Columbus Field Unit #1703 (API 42-089-00310) is a well in Colorado County operated by Rusk Energy Operating LLC, completed May 20, 2022 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in June 1, 2017.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 7, 1998, permitted to 9,814 ft.

It was permitted by Mitchell Energy Corporation and has since transferred to Rusk Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report one formation top, including Wilcox.

Its 4 leases have reported 921K barrels of oil and 1.36M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 45 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
