Farley #A 1
Hidalgo County · Jeffress (Vicksburg 7100) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Farley #A 1 (API 42-215-33079) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Varas Energy Operating Company, completed December 5, 2008 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 2010.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 2003 and 2008, permitted to 10,500 ft.
It was permitted by Smith Production Inc. and has since transferred to Varas Energy Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Vicksburg.
Its 2 leases have reported 3.04K barrels of oil and 301K mcf of gas since February 2003, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
