Pierce Estates #178H (API 42-481-30485) is a plugged well in Wharton County, plugged December 5, 2005, last operated by Remora Management LLC.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1977 and 1979, permitted to 5,515 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco Inc. and has since transferred to Remora Management LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.21M barrels of oil and 851K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 23 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
