Matgrda IS-LB County · Block 630-L (Catahoula Bar) field · Vertical
State Tract 629-L SE/4 #1 (API 42-703-30284) is a plugged well in Matgrda IS-LB County, plugged August 12, 2010, last operated by Fairways Offshore Expl. Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 14, 1982, permitted to 6,200 ft.
It was permitted by Mcmoran Exploration CO. and has since transferred to Fairways Offshore Expl. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Catahoula, Miocene (undifferentiated).
Its 3 leases have reported 21.5K barrels of oil and 339K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in October 2010. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
