Galveston County · Longhorn Ranch (Stephanie Sand) field · Directional
Houston Farms #1C (API 42-167-31257) is a plugged well in Galveston County, plugged March 6, 2013, last operated by Reef Exploration L.P..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1995 and 2002, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by Tepco Resources, Inc. and has since transferred to Reef Exploration L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Miocene (undifferentiated).
Its 3 leases have reported 53.7K barrels of oil and 278K mcf of gas since August 1995, last reporting in May 2013. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
