Jack County · Bryson East field · Vertical
Birdwell #7 (API 42-237-34457) is a plugged well in Jack County, plugged March 30, 2009, last operated by Birdwell Oil & Gas L.L.C..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 29, 1982, permitted to 3,400 ft.
It was permitted by Scandrill, Inc. and has since transferred to Birdwell Oil & Gas L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 610 barrels of oil and 11.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in February 2019. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
