Briscoe Belle Unit #1 (API 42-051-31455) is a plugged well in Burleson County, plugged April 25, 2015, last operated by Apache Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 23, 1981, permitted to 9,800 ft.
It was permitted by Getty Oil CO. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 8.1K barrels of oil and 485K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in June 2023. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
