Brown Herman Gas Unit #5U
Panola County · Carthage (Travis Peak) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Brown Herman Gas Unit #5U (API 42-365-31979) is a well in Panola County operated by Mmgl East Texas Iii LLC, completed January 28, 1999 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in July 1, 2012.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1988 and 1998, permitted to 9,875 ft.
It was permitted by Vastar Resources, Inc. and has since transferred to Mmgl East Texas Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Glen Rose, Rodessa, Pettit, Travis Peak.
Its 2 leases have reported 18.6K barrels of oil and 691K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
