Brazos County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Horizontal
Bryan (Austin Chalk) Pooled Unit #38H (API 42-041-30686) is a plugged horizontal well in Brazos County, plugged March 21, 2025, last operated by Wildfire Energy Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1981 and 1997, permitted to 9,607 ft.
It was permitted by B.W.O.C., Inc. and has since transferred to Wildfire Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Top Of A/C, Base Of A/C, Bottom Of A/C, Buda.
Its 2 leases have reported 2.52M barrels of oil and 6.76M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 129 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
