Benavides B.R. #11 (API 42-505-32409) is a plugged well in Zapata County, plugged August 2, 2012, last operated by Conocophillips Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 4, 1988, permitted to 10,500 ft.
It was permitted by Transamerican Natural Gas Corp. and has since transferred to Conocophillips Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Queen City, Wilcox, Wills Point.
Its 2 leases have reported 7 barrels of oil and 855K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
