Keith & Dowlen #30
Jefferson County · Beaumont West (Consolidated) field · Vertical
Keith & Dowlen #30 (API 42-245-31617) is a plugged well in Jefferson County, plugged February 13, 2017, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits between 1982 and 1998, permitted to 6,000 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 279K barrels of oil and 865K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
