Faust #1
Jackson County · Cordele W. (4400) field · Vertical
Faust #1 (API 42-239-32346) is a plugged well in Jackson County, plugged November 8, 2012, last operated by Cameron Paul E. JR. Inc..
The RRC has issued 5 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1987 and 1994, permitted to 5,200 ft.
It was permitted by Continental Operating CO. and has since transferred to Cameron Paul E. JR. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Frio.
Its 4 leases have reported 993 barrels of oil and 97 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
