Johnston James J. #A1 RE (API 42-477-30515) is a plugged horizontal well in Washington County, plugged January 4, 2013, last operated by Adams Resources Expl. Corp..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1983 and 1996, permitted to 11,000 ft.
It was permitted by Union Pacific Resources Company and has since transferred to Adams Resources Expl. Corp. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford.
Its lease has reported 80.2K barrels of oil and 831K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in June 2013. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
