Lavaca County · Provident City NE (5625) field · Vertical
Dow #1 (API 42-285-32862) is a plugged well in Lavaca County, plugged May 27, 2014, last operated by Charolais Energy LLC.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 2001 and 2008, permitted to 6,500 ft.
It was permitted by Howard Exploration, Inc. and has since transferred to Charolais Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Frio, Yegua, Yequa.
Its 3 leases have reported 91.3K barrels of oil and 169K mcf of gas since February 2003, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
