Welder Minnie S #16
San Patricio County · Portilla (Frio) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Welder Minnie S #16 (API 42-409-01653) is a well in San Patricio County operated by Goldking Minerals Mgmt L.L.C., completed May 7, 2008 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in June 1, 2001.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 2000 and 2008, permitted to 9,110 ft.
It was permitted by Abraxas Petroleum Corporation and has since transferred to Goldking Minerals Mgmt L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including 8100 Sand, Vicksburg.
Its 4 leases have reported 3.35M barrels of oil and 7.51M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 155 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
