Polk J. V. -B- O/A #45 (API 42-361-30740) is a well in Orange County operated by Torrent Oil LLC, completed April 27, 1998 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 5, 1997, permitted to 9,500 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco E & P Inc. and has since transferred to Torrent Oil LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Miocene (undifferentiated).
Its lease has reported 1.21M barrels of oil and 318K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 22 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
