Garza A. M.-State #6U (API 42-427-01304) is a disposal or injection well in Starr County operated by Shell Western E&P under an active UIC permit.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1986 and 1993, permitted to 7,001 ft.
It was permitted by Shell Western E&P Inc. and has since transferred to Shell Western E&P on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Frio.
Its 3 leases have reported 29.6K barrels of oil and 82.5K 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.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 327K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through July 2025.
