Palo Pinto County · Pickwick (Marble Falls) field · Vertical
Best Joe #1 (API 42-363-35255) is a plugged well in Palo Pinto County, plugged June 12, 2026, last operated by Lexgas Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 22, 2004, permitted to 4,900 ft.
It was permitted by Lexus Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Lexgas Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Marble Falls.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.05K barrels of oil and 145K mcf of gas since June 2004, last reporting volume in June 2023. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
