Jackson County · Maurbro (6300 Sand) field · Vertical
Strauss Mike #18 (API 42-239-32913) is a plugged well in Jackson County, plugged June 8, 2015, last operated by Manti Operating Company.
The RRC has issued 6 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1996 and 2008, permitted to 7,009 ft.
It was permitted by Sue-Ann Operating, L.C. and has since transferred to Manti Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Sand & Shale, Frio, Patrick 5500.
Its 7 leases have reported 10.1K barrels of oil and 1.26M mcf of gas since October 1997, last reporting in June 2015. The leases carry 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
