Ford #1 (API 42-253-34511) is a plugged well in Jones County, plugged August 31, 2012, last operated by L.C.S. Production Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 8, 2000, permitted to 3,300 ft.
It was permitted by Royal Texas Petroleum and has since transferred to L.C.S. Production Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 11.4K barrels of oil and 68 mcf of gas since January 1995, last reporting in September 2012. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
