Falls City Unit #63
Karnes County · Falls City (Wilcox Cons.) field · Vertical
Falls City Unit #63 (API 42-255-00016) is a plugged well in Karnes County, plugged January 29, 2007, last operated by Britanco L.L.C..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 17, 1984, permitted to 6,053 ft.
It was permitted by Sun Expl. & Prod. CO.-Corpus and has since transferred to Britanco L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including S-3.
Its 3 leases have reported 94K barrels of oil and 1.97K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 35 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
