WELL · 42-311-31704 · DISTRICT 1
Frost National Bank Etal #16
McMullen County · Foss (Mirando Sand) field · Vertical
Frost National Bank Etal #16 (API 42-311-31704) is a plugged well in Mcmullen County, plugged February 21, 2001, last operated by Merta Mike.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 18, 1982, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Moran, T. B. and has since transferred to Merta Mike on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Foss (Mirando Sand).
Its lease has reported 7.81K barrels of oil and 98 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 2005. The lease carries 14 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Moran, T. B.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
