Estelle Council 70 #1 (API 42-383-31673) is a well in Reagan County operated by Independence Resources Mgmt LLC, completed February 19, 2009.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 2009, permitted to 8,800 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Independence Resources Mgmt LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 4 leases have reported 103K barrels of oil and 1.16M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
