Bayou Development B #9 (API 42-167-31055) is a well in Galveston County operated by Columbus Energy LLC, completed September 24, 1996 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in March 1, 2010.

The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1985 and 1996, permitted to 9,731 ft.

It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Columbus Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report one formation top, including Frio.

Its 2 leases have reported 2.17K barrels of oil and 761K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
