Appelt G #1 H (API 42-149-32862) is a plugged horizontal well in Fayette County, plugged November 8, 2016, last operated by Evolution Operating CO. Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued February 15, 1994, permitted to 15,000 ft.
It was permitted by Torch Operating Company and has since transferred to Evolution Operating CO. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Austin Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 88.8K barrels of oil and 375K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
