Porter #9
Wichita County · Wichita County Regular field · Vertical
Porter #9 (API 42-485-38809) is a plugged well in Wichita County, plugged November 20, 1997, last operated by Bastrop Oil & Gas Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 30, 1983, permitted to 600 ft.
It was permitted by Springer, Jim and has since transferred to Bastrop Oil & Gas Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Oil Sand.
Its 2 leases have reported 190 barrels of oil and 12 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in August 2003. The leases carry 13 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Springer, Jim; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
