Dutton Unit #1 (API 42-157-31737) is a plugged well in Fort Bend County, plugged February 21, 1992, last operated by Venus Oil Company.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits between 1987 and 1995, permitted to 16,500 ft.
It was permitted by Sue-Ann Production Company and has since transferred to Venus Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Frio, Vicksburg, Yegua.
Its 6 leases have reported 8.41K barrels of oil and 262K mcf of gas since April 1993, last reporting in March 2008. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
