Downes L.E. #A 9 (API 42-325-33459) is a plugged well in Medina County, plugged December 22, 2010, last operated by Oilex Int L Investments Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 27, 1988, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Production Resources, Inc. and has since transferred to Oilex Int L Investments Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Olmos.
Its lease has reported 2.6K barrels of oil and 18 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
