Starr County · Rincon North (4350) field · Shut IN · Vertical
Heard J. F. B. #7 A (API 42-427-33051) is a well in Starr County operated by Scorpion Operating Inc., completed December 22, 1997 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1997 and 2004, permitted to 5,700 ft.
It was permitted by Integrated Operating Corporation and has since transferred to Scorpion Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Frio, Vicksburg.
Its 2 leases have reported 2.54K barrels of oil and 65.9K mcf of gas since December 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
