Laughlin-Suarez #1 (API 42-249-31643) is a plugged well in Jim Wells County, plugged February 14, 1996, last operated by Laughlin W. M..
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1982 and 2016, permitted to 4,000 ft.
It was permitted by Progas Operating, Inc and has since transferred to Laughlin W. M. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Frio, Catahoula, Jackson.
Its 2 leases have reported 212 barrels of oil since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
