Braden Hemus Gas Unit #1 (API 42-039-31929) is a well in Brazoria County operated by Rainbow Resources Inc., completed October 28, 1983.

The RRC has issued 6 drilling permits (amended once) between 1983 and 1994, permitted to 11,600 ft.

It was permitted by Global Natural Resources Corp. and has since transferred to Rainbow Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Anahuac, Frio.

Its 5 leases have reported 159K barrels of oil and 67.1K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
