Bain J. C. #1879 #1 (API 42-139-30154) is a plugged well in Ellis County, plugged July 6, 2000, last operated by Kathler Oil Interests.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 10, 1980, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Best 1 Oil Company and has since transferred to Kathler Oil Interests on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 618 barrels of oil and 17 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 2003. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
