Washington County · Giddings (Austin Chalk Gas) field · Horizontal · Sidetrack
Carter #1 (API 42-477-30529) is a plugged horizontal well in Washington County, plugged August 13, 2020, last operated by Wcs Oil And Gas Corporation.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1983 and 2012, permitted to 10,500 ft.
It was permitted by Wcs Oil & Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Wcs Oil And Gas Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford.
Its 3 leases have reported 54.5K barrels of oil and 273K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in September 2020. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
