Broussard & Hebert #40
Jefferson County · LA Belle SE (M-77A) field · Directional
Broussard & Hebert #40 (API 42-245-31618) is a well in Jefferson County operated by Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Lafayette, completed September 4, 1986.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits between 1982 and 1996, permitted to 8,100 ft.
It was permitted by American Exploration Company and has since transferred to Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Lafayette on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 53.2K barrels of oil and 83.3K 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.
