Brazos County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Horizontal · Sidetrack
Newsom Unit #1RE (API 42-041-31738) is a plugged horizontal well in Brazos County, plugged October 4, 2022, last operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1993 and 2010, permitted to 11,500 ft.
It was permitted by Enervest Operating, L.L.C. and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 227K barrels of oil and 816K mcf of gas since June 1993, last reporting in December 2022. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
