Webb County · Catarina SW. (San Miguel-Gas) field · Vertical
Gates Ranch W #1234 (API 42-479-37471) is a plugged well in Webb County, plugged October 14, 2016, last operated by White Oak Operating Company LLC.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2000 and 2001, permitted to 5,900 ft.
It was permitted by Kerns O & G, Inc. and has since transferred to White Oak Operating Company LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Escondido, Olmos, San Miguel.
Its 2 leases have reported 11.1K barrels of oil and 377K mcf of gas since May 2000, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
