Kleberg County · May South (Massive Basal) field · Vertical
Kaufer Leo -B- /MA.-1/ #1L (API 42-273-01215) is a plugged well in Kleberg County, plugged February 4, 2026, last operated by Magnum Producing LP.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 24, 1995, permitted to 10,016 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Magnum Producing LP on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.32K barrels of oil and 454K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in October 2023. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
