Unit E #56
Wood County · Forest Hill (Harris Sand) field · Shut IN · Vertical
Unit E #56 (API 42-499-30815) is a well in Wood County operated by Gaither Petroleum Corporation, completed February 1, 1981 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 1998.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 3, 1980, permitted to 4,830 ft.
It was permitted by Greenwich Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Gaither Petroleum Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 63.8K barrels of oil and 46 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 136 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
