Christian Henry E. -A- #1 (API 42-177-30631) is a plugged well in Gonzales County, plugged October 16, 2006, last operated by M & B Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 2012, permitted to 7,500 ft.
It was permitted by Tri-Force Exploration, L.L.C. and has since transferred to M & B Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford, Buda, Del Rio.
Its 2 leases have reported 38.7K barrels of oil and 1.75K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
