Copeland Ranch #51 (API 42-429-34417) is a plugged well in Stephens County, plugged July 16, 1997, last operated by Smith Pipe Of Abilene.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 19, 1985, permitted to 4,950 ft.
It was permitted by Midcentral Energy Corporation and has since transferred to Smith Pipe Of Abilene on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Caddo.
Its 2 leases have reported 777 barrels of oil and 40.7K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 1997. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Midcentral Energy Corporation; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
