Bechthold #1 (API 42-295-30974) is a plugged well in Lipscomb County, plugged March 24, 1998, last operated by B And G Production Inc..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1981 and 1989, permitted to 8,900 ft.
It was permitted by Williford Energy Company and has since transferred to B And G Production Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Harmon (Marmaton).
Its 2 leases have reported 5.01K barrels of oil and 9.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 1998. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
