Pierce Estate #B159
Wharton County · Magnet Withers (F- 7) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Pierce Estate #B159 (API 42-481-35148) is a well in Wharton County operated by Remora Management LLC, completed September 6, 2011 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2012.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 2010 and 2011, permitted to 7,240 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 712 barrels of oil and 229K mcf of gas since July 2010, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Feb 10, 2011. Density, Neutron, Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
