Texas Exploration CO. #15 (API 42-245-03289) is a plugged well in Jefferson County, plugged July 1, 1997, last operated by Tomahawk Petroleum.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 15, 1983, permitted to 4,265 ft.
It was permitted by Petro-Lewis Corporation and has since transferred to Tomahawk Petroleum on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 7.38K barrels of oil and 48 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 19 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
