Pierce Estates #52
Wharton County · Magnet Withers (Marginulina 1) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Pierce Estates #52 (API 42-481-02734) is a well in Wharton County operated by Remora Management LLC, completed November 26, 2004 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in April 1, 2023.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1982 and 2004, permitted to 5,570 ft.
It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Remora Management LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Top Of Marg, Frio.
Its 2 leases have reported 4.66M barrels of oil and 4.3M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 147 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
