Fansler Lorraine #7241 (API 42-283-31146) is a well in La Salle County operated by Virtex Operating Company Inc., completed September 22, 1985.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 20, 1985, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Drexel Operating Company and has since transferred to Virtex Operating Company Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Wilcox, Escondido, Olmos.
Its 3 leases have reported 17.1K barrels of oil and 1.09M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
