Refugio County · Greta (4400) field · Vertical
Obrien J. J. -A- #8 (API 42-391-30338) is a plugged well in Refugio County, plugged June 22, 2023, last operated by Greta Operating Company LLC.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits in 1995, permitted to 4,001 ft.
It was permitted by Chilton Energy and has since transferred to Greta Operating Company LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Greta.
Its 3 leases have reported 108K barrels of oil and 125K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
