Throckmorton County · M&P (Caddo) field · Producing · Vertical
Morrell M.E. #1A (API 42-447-35721) is a well in Throckmorton County operated by Bellah & Mathiews, completed May 12, 1997 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 13, 1997, permitted to 4,800 ft.
It was permitted by Whitt Oil & Gas, Inc. and has since transferred to Bellah & Mathiews on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Palo Pinto, Caddo, Congl., Barnett.
Its lease has reported 18.5K barrels of oil and 210 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
