Gulf Fee #9
Orange County · Orange field · NO Production · Vertical
Gulf Fee #9 (API 42-361-80046) is a well in Orange County operated by Orangefield Operating Corporatio, completed January 24, 1978 and listed as no production on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 18, 1977, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Cormier, Paul, Prod. and has since transferred to Orangefield Operating Corporatio on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Catahoula, Pliocene, Miocene (undifferentiated).
Its lease has reported 200K barrels of oil and 32.8K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 16 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
