Port Neches (Marg. Area 1) #36 (API 42-361-00378) is a plugged well in Orange County, plugged November 12, 1997, last operated by Torrent Oil LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 7, 1992, permitted to 6,000 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco E & P Inc. and has since transferred to Torrent Oil LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 288K barrels of oil and 71K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 22 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
