Harris County · Mykawa (Cons.) field · Vertical
Nussbaum Sam #2 (API 42-201-31373) is a plugged well in Harris County, plugged June 15, 2023, last operated by Apache Exploration Inc. (I).
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 4, 1982, permitted to 4,800 ft.
It was permitted by Mccarter, A. Nelson, Inc. and has since transferred to Apache Exploration Inc. (I) on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.54K barrels of oil and 2.65K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by McCarter, A. Nelson, Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
