King Richard -A- #2
Nueces County · Richard King (5175) field · Vertical
King Richard -A- #2 (API 42-355-00090) is a plugged well in Nueces County, plugged June 23, 1996, last operated by Browning Landon.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1977 and 1980, permitted to 5,599 ft.
It was permitted by Hng Oil Company and has since transferred to Browning Landon on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 12.4K barrels of oil and 31.8K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in January 2010. The leases carry 20 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by HNG Oil Company; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
