Thompson J.A. #16 (API 42-355-00789) is a plugged well in Nueces County, plugged December 24, 2008, last operated by Tema Oil And Gas Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 7, 1992, permitted to 6,505 ft.
It was permitted by Plains Resources Inc. and has since transferred to Tema Oil And Gas Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 27.1K barrels of oil and 240K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2009. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
