Jones County · Thunder (Cook) field · Producing · Vertical
Fergus #1 (API 42-253-33073) is a well in Jones County operated by Scott Operating Inc., completed October 14, 1984 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 27, 1984, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Rimland Exploration, Inc. and has since transferred to Scott Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Tannehill, Upper Cook, Middle Cook.
Its lease has reported 17K barrels of oil and 92 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
