Vessels R.P. #1A (API 42-331-31863) is a well in Milam County operated by Oxford Oil CO., completed June 24, 1983.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 6, 1983, permitted to 1,200 ft.
It was permitted by Freeman, Edward M. and has since transferred to Oxford Oil CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 12K barrels of oil and 54 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 22 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Freeman, Edward M.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
