Chapman J.O. #68
Nueces County · Chapman Ranch (Mid. Frio Cons.) field · Vertical
Chapman J.O. #68 (API 42-355-30449) is a plugged well in Nueces County, plugged June 15, 2018, last operated by Decker Operating CO. L.L.C..
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1984 and 2000, permitted to 6,500 ft.
It was permitted by Shana Petroleum Company and has since transferred to Decker Operating CO. L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Lagarto, Logarto, Oakville, Catahoula.
Its 5 leases have reported 32.8K barrels of oil and 52.3K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 25 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
