Welch Z. M. #1 (API 42-401-32069) is a plugged well in Rusk County, plugged May 6, 2011, last operated by Fidelity Explor. & Prod. CO..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1985 and 1996, permitted to 7,200 ft.
It was permitted by Gmt Inc. and has since transferred to Fidelity Explor. & Prod. CO. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Paluxy, Ferry Lake, BMA, Rodessa.
Its 2 leases have reported 332K barrels of oil and 770K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
