Throckmorton County · Throckmorton County Regular field · Vertical
Shelton Martha J. #6 A (API 42-447-32718) is a plugged well in Throckmorton County, plugged July 22, 2003, last operated by Putnam Joe Oil Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 14, 1981, permitted to 1,000 ft.
It was permitted by Mcmyers Oil Company and has since transferred to Putnam Joe Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 4.6K barrels of oil and 49 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 13 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
