Berger-Porterfield #1RE (API 42-041-31571) is a horizontal well in Brazos County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed February 15, 2000 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1992 and 2000, permitted to 15,000 ft.
It was permitted by Union Pacific Resources Company and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Midway, Navarro, Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 162K barrels of oil and 721K 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.
