Comment(by kashif):

 well the point coordinates you are seeing are in the original 6805
 projection system. If you want the data in lat/lng you will need to
 st_transform it to srid 4326, or:

 shp2pgsql -I -s 6805:4326 SABINE_wells.shp welldata > wellsdata.sql

 should in theory save the coordinates in lat/lngs

 hope this helps
