Brazos County · Kurten (Buda) field · Horizontal · Sidetrack
Scott-Ruesink Unit #1RE (API 42-041-31500) is a horizontal well in Brazos County operated by Union Pacific Resources Company, completed July 13, 1991.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1991 and 2001, permitted to 11,800 ft.
It was permitted by Anadarko E&P Company LP and has since transferred to Union Pacific Resources Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Midway, Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford.
Its 3 leases have reported 257K barrels of oil and 362K 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.
