Burleson County · Giddings (Eagleford) field · Vertical
Helweg W. #1 (API 42-051-31452) is a plugged well in Burleson County, plugged August 29, 2021, last operated by Wildfire Energy Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1981 and 2008, permitted to 9,500 ft.
It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Wildfire Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 28.7K barrels of oil and 58.8K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in May 2023. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
