Busch Shelton B #1 (API 42-201-31617) is a plugged well in Harris County, plugged January 14, 1998, last operated by King Operating Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 1, 1983, permitted to 4,300 ft.
It was permitted by Enderli Oil Company, Inc and has since transferred to King Operating Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 27K barrels of oil and 38 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
