McDonald #1 A
Montague County · Dyemound S. (Bend Conglomerate) field · NO Production · Vertical
Mcdonald #1 A (API 42-337-32791) is a well in Montague County operated by Pop Operating Company, completed April 24, 1989 and listed as no production on the RRC schedule, shut in December 1, 2024.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1989 and 2001, permitted to 7,150 ft.
It was permitted by Walsh & Watts, Inc. and has since transferred to Pop Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Etter, Caddo, Atoka.
Its 3 leases have reported 77.3K barrels of oil and 24.2K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
