Luther A #1
Brazos County · Caldwell (Austin Chalk) field · Shut In · Vertical
Luther A #1 (API 42-041-31305) is a well in Brazos County operated by Wildfire Energy Operating LLC, completed August 29, 1993 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in December 1, 2015.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1985 and 1993, permitted to 7,967 ft.
It was permitted by Michael Petroleum Corporation and has since transferred to Wildfire Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford, Engleford, Georgetown.
Its 2 leases have reported 73.8K barrels of oil and 35K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
