Eastland County · Nimrod E. (Patio) field · Vertical
Morton R.P. #1 (API 42-133-31088) is a plugged well in Eastland County, plugged August 17, 2023, last operated by Interstate Explorations LLC.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1977 and 1980, permitted to 3,345 ft.
It was permitted by Ridgeway Oil Expl & Dev., Inc and has since transferred to Interstate Explorations LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 18.3K barrels of oil and 40 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in July 2023. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
