Rusk County · Rufus (Travis Peak) field · Vertical
Marsden Joe #1 (API 42-401-31779) is a plugged well in Rusk County, plugged November 21, 1997, last operated by Cex Operating Company.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1983 and 1993, permitted to 8,000 ft.
It was permitted by Concorde Exploration, Inc. and has since transferred to Cex Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Mass Anhydrite, Massive Anhydrite (marker), Rodessa, Bexar.
Its 3 leases have reported 374 barrels of oil and 22.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2008. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
