J. E. Chapman et AL #1
Galveston County · San Leon (11250 Sd.) field · Vertical
J. E. Chapman ET AL #1 (API 42-167-30895) is a plugged well in Galveston County, plugged July 29, 2015, last operated by Seagull Energy E&P Inc..
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1982 and 1990, permitted to 15,500 ft.
It was permitted by Wacker Oil Inc. and has since transferred to Seagull Energy E&P Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Frio.
Its 5 leases have reported 18.6K barrels of oil and 1.33M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2015. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
