Smith-Knolle Unit #1
Burleson County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Vertical
Smith-Knolle Unit #1 (API 42-051-30810) is a plugged well in Burleson County, plugged July 2, 1996, last operated by Apache Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued June 13, 1980, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco E & P Inc. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Austin Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 16.7K barrels of oil and 369K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
