Loden Ray Unit #1H (API 42-051-30878) is a horizontal well in Burleson County operated by Wildfire Energy Operating LLC, completed October 8, 1980.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 1995, permitted to 11,000 ft.
It was permitted by Union Pacific Austin Chalk CO. and has since transferred to Wildfire Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk, Georgetown.
Its lease has reported 106K barrels of oil and 750K 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.
