Trusty Oil Unit #1 (API 42-199-00075) is a plugged well in Hardin County, plugged September 16, 2019, last operated by Atlantic Richfield CO..
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits between 1977 and 2006, permitted to 7,220 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Atlantic Richfield CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 5.98K barrels of oil and 15.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2020. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
