Welder E. H. C #169
San Patricio County · Plymouth (5390) field · Producing · Vertical
Welder E. H. C #169 (API 42-409-32493) is a well in San Patricio County operated by Mcgowan Working Partners Inc., completed June 2, 2004 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1996 and 2004, permitted to 5,950 ft.
It was permitted by Eog Resources, Inc. and has since transferred to Mcgowan Working Partners Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Greta, 5470 Plymouth, Heep Stringer, 5900 Sand.
Its 2 leases have reported 824K barrels of oil and 1.24M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 52 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
