Kucera Alvin #1H (API 42-051-31938) is a horizontal well in Burleson County operated by Wildfire Energy Operating LLC, completed December 18, 1981.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1981 and 1991, permitted to 9,200 ft.
It was permitted by Columbia Gas Development Corp. and has since transferred to Wildfire Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Giddlings (Austin Chalk).
Its lease has reported 80.7K barrels of oil and 788K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
