Moore J.M. #1 (API 42-157-31867) is a plugged well in Fort Bend County, plugged December 14, 2021, last operated by Vanco Oil & Gas Corp..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued September 8, 1991, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Lobo Resources, Ltd. and has since transferred to Vanco Oil & Gas Corp. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Frio, Vicksburg, Yegua, Cook Mountain.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.1M barrels of oil and 433K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 10 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
