Calame Ralph #9 (API 42-161-30741) is a plugged well in Freestone County, plugged April 18, 2003, last operated by Mecala Oil Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 20, 1982, permitted to 1,200 ft.
It was permitted by Calame, Donald and has since transferred to Mecala Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 660 barrels of oil and 29 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in October 2013. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
