Garza A. M.-State #9 (API 42-427-01299) is a permitted well in Starr County filed by Shell Western E&P; no completion report is on file yet.

The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1999 and 2002, permitted to 9,100 ft.

It was permitted by Shell Western E&P and has since transferred to Shell Western E&P Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Catahoula, Vicksburg, Vivkeburg.

Its 4 leases have reported 13.5K barrels of oil and 4.6M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
