Duson #1
Wharton County · Hutchins-Kubela (Gilcrease PS-A) field · Vertical
Duson #1 (API 42-481-33998) is a well in Wharton County operated by Venus Exploration Inc., completed August 20, 1998.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1997 and 2014, permitted to 12,600 ft.
It was permitted by Amexco, LLC and has since transferred to Venus Exploration Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 13 formation tops, including Frio, Gretta - Disposal, Gilcrease, Vicksburg.
Its 3 leases have reported 106K barrels of oil and 40.9K mcf of gas since December 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
