Armadillo #1 (API 42-287-30542) is a plugged horizontal well in Lee County, plugged May 24, 2019, last operated by Bhec Corporation.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1979 and 1988, permitted to 8,900 ft.
It was permitted by Ferguson, Ted R.,Inc. and has since transferred to Bhec Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 965 barrels of oil and 27.8K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in May 2019. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
