Esse-Smith Ranch Unit B #1H (API 42-013-34355) is a horizontal well in Atascosa County operated by Marathon Oil EF LLC, completed August 5, 2014 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued April 21, 2011, permitted to 13,500 ft.
It was permitted by Hilcorp Energy Company and has since transferred to Marathon Oil EF LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 11 formation tops, including Anacacho, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford, Bartosh.
Its lease has reported 1.05M barrels of oil and 1.48M mcf of gas since August 2011, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
