Choppe Dorothy #1 (API 42-481-32957) is a plugged well in Wharton County, plugged October 26, 2013, last operated by Magnum Producing LP.

The RRC has issued 5 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1986 and 1997, permitted to 7,513 ft.

It was permitted by Magnum Producing & Operating CO. and has since transferred to Magnum Producing LP on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 13 formation tops, including 6200, T/6200, T/6200' Frio Sand, T/6200' Frio Sd.

Its 4 leases have reported 8.11K barrels of oil and 13.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 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.
