Arnold J. H. #1 (API 42-417-32824) is a well in Shackelford County operated by Dark Canyon Resources LLC, completed March 15, 1979 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued February 2, 1979, permitted to 4,500 ft.
It was permitted by Sequoia Fossil Fuels, Inc. and has since transferred to Dark Canyon Resources LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including B/Breckenridge, Palo Pinto, Moran Sand.
Its lease has reported 48.2K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 29 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
