Mekeel Leland E. B #1 (API 42-357-00413) is a plugged well in Ochiltree County, plugged May 23, 2006, last operated by Apache Corporation.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1985 and 1997, permitted to 10,621 ft.
It was permitted by Midgard Energy Company and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 20 formation tops, including Anhy, Bd, Brown Dolomite, Doug.
Its 2 leases have reported 3.95K barrels of oil and 25.2K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in May 2006. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
