Brazos County · Giddings (Austin Chalk Gas) field · Horizontal
Buth #1H (API 42-041-31938) is a plugged horizontal well in Brazos County, plugged July 21, 2014, last operated by HK Energy Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued April 2, 2001, permitted to 11,500 ft.
It was permitted by Stroud Oil Properties, Inc. and has since transferred to HK Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Austin Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 6.58K barrels of oil and 676K mcf of gas since August 2002, last reporting in July 2014. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
