Rich J. L. #1 (API 42-181-30624) is a plugged well in Grayson County, plugged July 26, 2019, last operated by Heape Gene G..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 3, 1978, permitted to 17,000 ft.
It was permitted by Gulf Oil Corp. and has since transferred to Heape Gene G. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Viola.
Its 3 leases have reported 16.6K barrels of oil and 232K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in February 2020. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
