Fort Bend County · Moores Orchard (Mio. & Frio) field · Shut In · Vertical
Moore J. M. ET AL #203 (API 42-157-31609) is a well in Fort Bend County operated by Cml Exploration LLC, completed July 21, 1994 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in October 1, 2001.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits between 1985 and 1994, permitted to 6,600 ft.
It was permitted by Chevron U. S. A. Inc. and has since transferred to Cml Exploration LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Anahuac, Frio, Vicksburg, Yegua.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.47M barrels of oil and 1.45M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 27 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
