Johnston James #1-212
Frio County · Pearsall (Austin Chalk) field · Vertical
Johnston James #1-212 (API 42-163-31770) is a plugged well in Frio County, plugged December 16, 1993, last operated by Moseley & Mckissack Res LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 16, 1980, permitted to 6,000 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 6.07K barrels of oil and 19 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 2003. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
