Chapman Mel #6 (API 42-337-82765) is a well in Montague County operated by Esp Energy LLC, completed April 10, 1981 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 12, 1981, permitted to 6,196 ft.
It was permitted by Horton Oil CO. and has since transferred to Esp Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 34.2K barrels of oil and 110 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
