Howell D. R. 45 #9 (API 42-467-30619) is a well in Van Zandt County operated by Basa Resources Inc., completed May 9, 2001 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1985 and 2001, permitted to 3,000 ft.
It was permitted by Union Oil Company Of California and has since transferred to Basa Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Woodbine, Dexter A, Dexter B.
Its 2 leases have reported 7.5M barrels of oil and 5.22M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 204 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
