Wood County · Quitman field · Shut In · Vertical
Goldsmith J. B. #42R (API 42-499-30684) is a well in Wood County operated by Atlas Operating LLC, completed April 16, 1979 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in November 1, 1998.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 18, 1979, permitted to 6,460 ft.
It was permitted by Shell Oil Company and has since transferred to Atlas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 922K barrels of oil and 303K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in March 2026. The lease carries 19 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.

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.
