Watson Carl H #1
Wise County · Park Springs (Congl.) field · Vertical
Watson Carl H #1 (API 42-497-30488) is a well in Wise County operated by Wolsey Oil Inc., completed December 3, 1980.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 1, 1977, permitted to 5,895 ft.
It was permitted by Caswell Bros. Oil CO. and has since transferred to Wolsey Oil Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.11K barrels of oil and 205K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
