Gonzales County · Pilgrim (Austin Chalk) field · Vertical
Fink #1 (API 42-177-30708) is a plugged well in Gonzales County, plugged September 10, 2003, last operated by Caddo Energy CO. Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 3, 1980, permitted to 7,100 ft.
It was permitted by Tipperary Oil & Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Caddo Energy CO. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 4.64K barrels of oil and 44 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.
