Wharton County · Magnet Withers (Frio Cons.) field · Vertical
M W Gas N-3 O/A #5-J (API 42-481-80325) is a plugged well in Wharton County, plugged March 15, 2010, last operated by Apache Corporation.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1978 and 1979, permitted to 7,500 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco Inc. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 4 leases have reported 2.91K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Texaco Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
