Not one formation; the well must be completed in one of them, and no target formation is stated. The district's wildcat field is also on the permit.

Pierce Estates #B137H (API 42-481-30384) is a plugged well in Wharton County, plugged September 14, 1999, last operated by Apache Corporation.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1977 and 1986, permitted to 7,257 ft.

It was permitted by Texaco Inc. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 4.66M barrels of oil and 4.24M 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.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
