Gilbert Oil Company #16A (API 42-199-31437) is a plugged well in Hardin County, plugged November 16, 2023, last operated by Radco Operations L.P..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 10, 1980, permitted to 1,300 ft.
It was permitted by Atco Prod. CO., Inc. and has since transferred to Radco Operations L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 120K barrels of oil and 22 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
