Ries A #1
Burleson County · Giddings (Austin Chalk Gas) field · Vertical
Ries A #1 (API 42-051-31802) is a plugged well in Burleson County, plugged July 13, 1998, last operated by Douglas Petroleum Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 7, 1981, permitted to 9,500 ft.
It was permitted by Graham, Keith D. and has since transferred to Douglas Petroleum Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 220 barrels of oil and 2.72K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in December 1998. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Graham, Keith D.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
