State Tract 169 #1
Kleberg County · Bird Island (10-a Seg A) field · Vertical
State Tract 169 #1 (API 42-273-00560) is a plugged well in Kleberg County, plugged September 21, 2001, last operated by Totalfinaelf E&P USA Inc.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1989 and 1992, permitted to 8,500 ft.
It was permitted by Fina Oil & Chemical Company and has since transferred to Totalfinaelf E&P USA Inc on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 225K barrels of oil and 287K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in January 2002. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
