Fickey-Lard (Buda) Unit #1RE (API 42-041-31666) is a horizontal well in Brazos County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed December 20, 1998 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1992 and 1998, permitted to 11,894 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 5 formation tops, including Midway, Navarro, Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 182K barrels of oil and 772K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
