Nueces County · Chapman Ranch (C-18) field · Vertical
Chapman J. O. #88 (API 42-355-30511) is a plugged well in Nueces County, plugged February 10, 1999, last operated by Decker Operating CO. L.L.C..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 3, 1998, permitted to 4,000 ft.
It was permitted by Shell Western E&P Inc. and has since transferred to Decker Operating CO. L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 574 barrels of oil and 2.52K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in October 2006. The leases carry 15 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
