Bell W.G. JR. ET AL #1 (API 42-215-32054) is a plugged well in Hidalgo County, plugged March 2, 2004, last operated by Contract Energy L.L.C..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1991 and 1994, permitted to 6,500 ft.
It was permitted by Waters Eng. & Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Contract Energy L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including 5200, F-76.
Its 2 leases have reported 57.4K barrels of oil and 115K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2008. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
