Canales E.G. #18 (API 42-273-30480) is a plugged well in Kleberg County, plugged October 7, 2011, last operated by Remora Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits between 1984 and 1998, permitted to 74,878 ft.
It was permitted by Oryx Energy Company and has since transferred to Remora Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Marine Vxbg, 9900 Sd, 9900 Sd., 10250 Sd.
Its 4 leases have reported 1.51K barrels of oil and 333K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
