Lubbock County · Lee Harrison field · Vertical
Darby J. ET AL #1 WD (API 42-303-30570) is a plugged well in Lubbock County, plugged September 9, 1994, last operated by Merit Energy Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 3, 1980, permitted to 1,400 ft.
It was permitted by Gulf Oil Corp. and has since transferred to Merit Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 12.6K barrels of oil and 93 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2007. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
