Elder #1 WS
Gregg County · East Texas field · Water Supply · Vertical
Elder #1 WS (API 42-183-30829) is a well in Gregg County operated by Signal Oil Company LLC, completed October 16, 1990 and listed as water supply on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 30, 1990, permitted to 900 ft.
It was permitted by Noble/Cantrell Explor.CO., Inc. and has since transferred to Signal Oil Company LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 32.9K barrels of oil and 24 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Noble/Cantrell Explor.co., Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
