Orange County · Orange field · Shut IN · Vertical
Michel Heirs #7 (API 42-361-80054) is a well in Orange County operated by Orangefield Operating Corporatio, completed May 10, 1983 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 9, 1983, permitted to 6,606 ft.
It was permitted by Cormier, Paul, Prod. and has since transferred to Orangefield Operating Corporatio on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 2.81K barrels of oil and 24 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
