English W.L. A #7 (API 42-417-32421) is a well in Shackelford County operated by Ray - A Operating Inc., completed November 11, 1977 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 7, 1977, permitted to 800 ft.
It was permitted by Shaeffer, Stanley B. ET AL and has since transferred to Ray - A Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 12.2K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
