Kleberg County · Borregos (Consolidated Gas) field · Vertical
King Ranch Borregos #238 (API 42-273-00445) is a plugged well in Kleberg County, plugged August 12, 2002, last operated by Exxon Mobil Corporation.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits between 1978 and 1992, permitted to 6,500 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Exxon Mobil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 5 leases have reported 550K barrels of oil and 3.5M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 200 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
