Minor #1 (API 42-361-80203) is a well in Orange County operated by Orangefield Operating Corporatio, completed December 2, 1982 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 24, 1982, permitted to 3,400 ft.
It was permitted by Cormier, Robert and has since transferred to Orangefield Operating Corporatio on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 21.8K barrels of oil and 27 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.
