Moore Estate #15

Matagorda County · Bay City (8500 Frio) field · Vertical

Moore Estate #15 (API 42-321-31549) is a well in Matagorda County operated by Texaco E & P Inc., completed October 19, 1987.

The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1987 and 1995, permitted to 10,000 ft.

It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Texaco E & P Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Fleming, Miocene (undifferentiated), Oakville, Anahuac.

Its 3 leases have reported 48.8K barrels of oil and 93.3K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
