Fridel Unit II #1 (API 42-041-30373) is a well in Brazos County operated by Gulf Oil Corp., completed April 19, 1978.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 1, 1978, permitted to 9,000 ft.

It was permitted by Amalgamated Bonanza Petr. Ltd. and has since transferred to Gulf Oil Corp. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 10.6M barrels of oil and 11.6M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 247 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.
