Welder C #19
Refugio County · Sharps Lake N. (5240) field · Vertical
Welder C #19 (API 42-391-32160) is a plugged well in Refugio County, plugged June 8, 2018, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits (amended once) between 1996 and 2006, permitted to 6,200 ft.
It was permitted by Forest Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 5 leases have reported 95.6K barrels of oil and 725K mcf of gas since January 1997, last reporting in July 2018. The leases carry 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
