Plugged

Madison County · Day field · Vertical

Thurston Dean #7 (API 42-313-30261) is a plugged well in Madison County, plugged October 17, 2002, last operated by Ocean Energy Inc..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 28, 1979, permitted to 3,000 ft.

It was permitted by Parten, J. R. and has since transferred to Ocean Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 21K barrels of oil and 6.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in December 2002. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
