Bishop #1 (API 42-165-31449) is a plugged well in Gaines County, plugged December 14, 2000, last operated by Shenandoah Petroleum Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 16, 1978, permitted to 5,300 ft.
It was permitted by Estoril Producing Corporation and has since transferred to Shenandoah Petroleum Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 17.4K barrels of oil and 131 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in February 2011. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
