Guadalupe County · Darst Creek (Buda) field · Producing · Vertical
Denman G. M. #16 (API 42-187-30774) is a well in Guadalupe County operated by DJ Exploration Inc., completed August 19, 1977 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 5, 1977, permitted to 2,360 ft.
It was permitted by Lockhart Oil & Gas and has since transferred to DJ Exploration Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 77.4K barrels of oil and 203K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 25 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
