State Tract 659-L NW/4 #1 (API 42-703-30241) is a well in Matgrda IS-LB County operated by White Marlin Operating CO LLC, completed August 14, 1981 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 26, 1981, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by Kirby Exploration Company and has since transferred to White Marlin Operating CO LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Massive Sand.
Its lease has reported 1.76M barrels of oil and 204K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
