Pierce Estates #C171
Wharton County · Magnet Withers (Miocene 4000) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Pierce Estates #C171 (API 42-481-30385) is a well in Wharton County operated by Remora Management LLC, completed April 25, 2011 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in September 1, 2013.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1982 and 2011, permitted to 5,723 ft.
It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Remora Management LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Frio.
Its 3 leases have reported 4.66M barrels of oil and 4.37M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 148 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
