Elder #1 (API 42-183-30869) is a well in Gregg County operated by Rusk CO. Well Service CO. Inc., completed August 23, 1991.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1991 and 2002, permitted to 10,000 ft.
It was permitted by Miken Oil and has since transferred to Rusk CO. Well Service CO. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Woodbine, 1st Anhydrite, Base Anhydrite, Rodessa.
Its 2 leases have reported 86.1K barrels of oil and 74 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 12 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
