Giesenschlag-Groce #3
Burleson County · Giddings (Eagleford) field · Vertical
Giesenschlag-Groce #3 (API 42-051-32138) is a plugged well in Burleson County, plugged November 4, 2022, last operated by Wildfire Energy Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1982 and 2011, permitted to 12,000 ft.
It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Wildfire Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, False Buda, N/A.
Its 4 leases have reported 158K barrels of oil and 1.17M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
