King Ranch Borregos #542
Kleberg County · Borregos (Consolidated Gas) field · Vertical
King Ranch Borregos #542 (API 42-273-31213) is a plugged well in Kleberg County, plugged December 7, 2009, last operated by Exxon Mobil Corporation.
The RRC has issued 5 drilling permits (amended once) between 1978 and 1988, permitted to 7,500 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Exxon Mobil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 550K barrels of oil and 3.49M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in February 2024. The leases carry 198 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
