Welder J. F. B #19 (API 42-409-30324) is a plugged well in San Patricio County, plugged June 11, 2020, last operated by Gtg Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 3, 1997, permitted to 7,130 ft.
It was permitted by Smith Production Inc. and has since transferred to Gtg Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 15.6K barrels of oil and 249K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in November 2020. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
