Brazos County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Producing · Horizontal
Porterfield-Gifford Hill Unit #1RE (API 42-041-31770) is a horizontal well in Brazos County operated by Wildfire Energy Operating LLC, completed May 21, 2010 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1993 and 2009, permitted to 7,867 ft.
It was permitted by Anadarko E&P Company LP and has since transferred to Wildfire Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Midway, Navarro, Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 377K barrels of oil and 444K mcf of gas since November 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
