Jim Wells County · Hobby (E-86-2) field · Vertical
King Ranch Morgan #M54 (API 42-249-30448) is a plugged well in Jim Wells County, plugged September 29, 2011, last operated by Exxon Mobil Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 9, 1985, permitted to 5,400 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Exxon Mobil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.97K barrels of oil and 182K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
