Matgrda IS-SB County · Clear (Miocene 6200) field · Vertical
State Tract 829-S #1 (API 42-603-30126) is a plugged well in Matgrda IS-SB County, plugged April 4, 2005, last operated by Forest Oil Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 26, 1979, permitted to 7,300 ft.
It was permitted by Corpus Christi Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Forest Oil Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 172K barrels of oil and 123K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
