Bexar County · Somerset field · Producing · Vertical
Brander #1 (API 42-029-37511) is a well in Bexar County operated by Brander Sam H., completed August 7, 1986 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 23, 1986, permitted to 3,000 ft.
It was permitted by Hillside Equities, Inc. and has since transferred to Brander Sam H. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Escondido, Olmos.
Its lease has reported 7.07K barrels of oil and 74 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 25 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Hillside Equities, Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
