Sebesta James Unit #1 (API 42-051-30726) is a plugged well in Burleson County, plugged August 16, 1991, last operated by Wildfire Energy Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 1988, permitted to 8,100 ft.
It was permitted by Union Pacific Resources Company and has since transferred to Wildfire Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford, Flase Buda.
Its lease has reported 223K barrels of oil and 440K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
