Margo #9
Starr County · Arroyo Grande (Queen City) field · Vertical
Margo #9 (API 42-427-34009) is a well in Starr County operated by Starr Operating LLC, completed February 13, 2007.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 2006 and 2012, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Newgulf Petroleum, LLC and has since transferred to Starr Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Crockett, Yegua, Cook Mountain, Cook Mtn..
Its 2 leases have reported 350K barrels of oil and 703K mcf of gas since August 2002, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 25.7K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through July 2025.
