Gladys City #79 (API 42-245-31171) is a plugged well in Jefferson County, plugged November 21, 1991, last operated by Rheaco Oil Company Ltd..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 7, 1977, permitted to 1,150 ft.
It was permitted by Wilson, Charles B., JR., Inc. and has since transferred to Rheaco Oil Company Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 596K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 103 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
