Eastland County · Eastland County Regular field · Vertical
Watson #1 (API 42-133-31968) is a plugged well in Eastland County, plugged March 29, 2022, last operated by Watson Dalton.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 24, 1979, permitted to 3,392 ft.
It was permitted by Brown Operating Company and has since transferred to Watson Dalton on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 108 barrels of oil and 108 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Brown Operating Company; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
