Forman B #1
Wise County · Newark East (Barnett Shale) field · Horizontal
Forman B #1 (API 42-497-36261) is a plugged horizontal well in Wise County, plugged March 12, 2026, last operated by Lime Rock Resources IV-A L.P..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued May 17, 2007, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Encana Oil & Gas(USA) Inc. and has since transferred to Lime Rock Resources IV-A L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Marble Falls, Barnett.
Its 3 leases have reported 29.7K barrels of oil and 2.01M mcf of gas since August 2007, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
