Broussard & Hebert #38 (API 42-245-31425) is a plugged well in Jefferson County, plugged January 13, 2014, last operated by White Marlin Operating CO LLC.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits between 1980 and 1992, permitted to 13,500 ft.
It was permitted by American Exploration Company and has since transferred to White Marlin Operating CO LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 38.7K barrels of oil and 103K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
