Alford Unit #1 (API 42-287-30960) is a plugged horizontal well in Lee County, plugged August 30, 2016, last operated by Adams Resources Expl. Corp..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1981 and 1995, permitted to 11,100 ft.
It was permitted by Union Pacific Austin Chalk CO. and has since transferred to Adams Resources Expl. Corp. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 127K barrels of oil and 705K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in November 2016. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
