Richter Paul #1
Wilson County · Acleto Creek (Poth A) field · Shut IN · Vertical
Richter Paul #1 (API 42-493-31916) is a well in Wilson County operated by Production Resources Inc., completed June 1, 1986 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 15, 1986, permitted to 3,000 ft.
It was permitted by Adco Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Production Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Carrizo, Wilcox, Poth A.
Its lease has reported 8.17K barrels of oil and 102 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
