Jack County · TJN (Conglomerate) field · Vertical
Ellis #1 (API 42-237-36684) is a plugged well in Jack County, plugged December 21, 2016, last operated by Rbe Jack Archer LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 26, 1985, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Catlin, Carl and has since transferred to Rbe Jack Archer LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Conglomerate.
Its 2 leases have reported 9 barrels of oil and 43.7K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in June 2019. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Catlin, Carl; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
