Runnels County · McLarty (Goen) field · Vertical
James B #6 (API 42-399-34318) is a plugged well in Runnels County, plugged July 22, 2022, last operated by Vanco Oil & Gas Corp..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 20, 1994, permitted to 4,000 ft.
It was permitted by Atapco and has since transferred to Vanco Oil & Gas Corp. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Mclarty (Goen).
Its lease has reported 82.6K barrels of oil and 422K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Atapco; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
