Liberty County · Liberty South field · Shut IN · Vertical
Mitchell J. M. #96 (API 42-291-31574) is a well in Liberty County operated by Oily Dog Operators Texas LLC, completed August 1, 1983 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 29, 1982, permitted to 3,500 ft.
It was permitted by Boothe, H. E., JR. and has since transferred to Oily Dog Operators Texas LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 128K barrels of oil and 27.3K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 26 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
