Smith Wilcox Virginia P. GU #1 (API 42-285-31985) is a plugged well in Lavaca County, plugged October 24, 2025, last operated by Capital Star Oil & Gas Inc..
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1987 and 1994, permitted to 10,000 ft.
It was permitted by Mobil Producing TX. & N.M. Inc. and has since transferred to Capital Star Oil & Gas Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Wilcox.
Its 2 leases have reported 786 barrels of oil and 27.7K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in October 2025. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
