McKendrick W. H. #16
Webb County · Laredo (Lobo) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Mckendrick W. H. #16 (API 42-479-35988) is a well in Webb County operated by Columbus Energy LLC, completed May 11, 1995 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 1998.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1993 and 1995, permitted to 8,730 ft.
It was permitted by Transtexas Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Columbus Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Wilcox, Wills Point.
Its 2 leases have reported 1 barrels of oil and 23.4K mcf of gas since April 1994. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
