Forester C. H. #1 (API 42-497-00435) is a well in Wise County operated by Scout Energy Management LLC, completed August 21, 1992 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in May 1, 2022.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 29, 1992, permitted to 6,174 ft.
It was permitted by Mitchell Energy Corporation and has since transferred to Scout Energy Management LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Caughlin, Tidwell, Atoka.
Its 3 leases have reported 4.95K barrels of oil and 112K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, with no volume in the three years through August 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.
Wells nearby
Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
