Welder C 25 #25 (API 42-391-32172) is a plugged well in Refugio County, plugged April 17, 2019, last operated by Remora Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued 5 drilling permits (amended once) between 1997 and 2016, permitted to 6,500 ft.
It was permitted by Hilcorp Energy Company and has since transferred to Remora Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Catahoula, Frio, Jackson.
Its 5 leases have reported 36.1K barrels of oil and 267K mcf of gas since May 1997, last reporting in August 2019. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
