Preston Sam A #7 (API 42-329-30773) is a plugged well in Midland County, plugged October 13, 1995, last operated by Parker & Parsley Development CO..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 5, 1977, permitted to 13,000 ft.
It was permitted by Mobil Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Parker & Parsley Development CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 32K barrels of oil and 59.7K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in October 1997. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
