Pierce #1
Matagorda County · Potthast (Upper McDonald) field · Directional
Pierce #1 (API 42-321-31831) is a plugged well in Matagorda County, plugged September 10, 2004, last operated by Samedan Oil Corporation.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended twice) between 2000 and 2002, permitted to 10,400 ft.
It was permitted by Dallas Production, Inc. and has since transferred to Samedan Oil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Frio, F-16, F-20, Pheasant (Simpson).
Its 3 leases have reported 19.4K barrels of oil and 501K mcf of gas since August 2000, last reporting in October 2004. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
