Compton #1 (API 42-429-34306) is a plugged well in Stephens County, plugged May 11, 1996, last operated by Hindman E. C. JR. Partnership.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1984 and 1988, permitted to 4,300 ft.
It was permitted by French Energy Company and has since transferred to Hindman E. C. JR. Partnership on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Duffer, Marble Falls, Ellenburger.
Its 2 leases have reported 85 barrels of oil and 152 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 2003. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
