Liberty County · Hardin N. (McMurtry-Seg A) field · Vertical
Buffum & Benning #1A (API 42-291-31322) is a plugged well in Liberty County, plugged March 29, 2018, last operated by Poynor Corporation.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1979 and 2003, permitted to 9,500 ft.
It was permitted by SR Production Corp. and has since transferred to Poynor Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 85.5K barrels of oil and 238K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
