Vorpahl Otto #1
Guadalupe County · La Vernia field · Vertical
Vorpahl Otto #1 (API 42-187-31039) is a plugged well in Guadalupe County, plugged September 8, 2017, last operated by Production Resources Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 7, 1979, permitted to 1,075 ft.
It was permitted by T. W. Oil CO. and has since transferred to Production Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 3.14K barrels of oil and 59 mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
