Falkenberg BH Unit #4H (API 42-287-32398) is a plugged horizontal well in Lee County, plugged December 11, 2014, last operated by Enervest Operating L.L.C..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1983 and 1993, permitted to 10,000 ft.
It was permitted by Snyder Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Enervest Operating L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Taylor, Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford.
Its 3 leases have reported 19.5K barrels of oil and 2.69M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in December 2014. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
