Johnston James #1-214
Frio County · Pearsall (Austin Chalk) field · Vertical
Johnston James #1-214 (API 42-163-31738) is a plugged well in Frio County, plugged March 25, 2002, last operated by Moseley & Mckissack Res LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 27, 1979, permitted to 6,100 ft.
It was permitted by Guaranty Petroleum Corp. and has since transferred to Moseley & Mckissack Res LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 7.04K barrels of oil and 43 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
