Willey Louis #1 (API 42-365-31620) is a plugged well in Panola County, plugged April 4, 2001, last operated by Sonat Exploration Company-Mcr.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits (amended once) between 1984 and 1993, permitted to 7,500 ft.
It was permitted by Sonat Exploration Company -Tyler and has since transferred to Sonat Exploration Company-Mcr on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Paluxy, Massive Anhydrite (marker), Binds Anhy, Bma Rodessa.
Its 5 leases have reported 2.25K barrels of oil and 82 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2001. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
