Painter Oil Unit #7
Hidalgo County · Mercedes (7700) field · Vertical
Painter Oil Unit #7 (API 42-215-31107) is a plugged well in Hidalgo County, plugged August 31, 2016, last operated by Pioneer Resources Producing L.P.
The RRC has issued 8 drilling permits between 1981 and 2005, permitted to 10,300 ft.
It was permitted by Magnum Producing, LP and has since transferred to Pioneer Resources Producing L.P on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Frio.
Its 5 leases have reported 11K barrels of oil and 239K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 2016. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
