South Pena Creek Unit #499 (API 42-127-33182) is a well in Dimmit County operated by Atlas Operating LLC, completed October 27, 2001 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in June 1, 2025.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 24, 2001, permitted to 3,410 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Atlas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including San Miguel.
Its lease has reported 821K barrels of oil and 41.2K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 86 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
