Sebesta #1 (API 42-051-32247) is a well in Burleson County operated by Ernest Operating Company, completed November 17, 1982 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 18, 1982, permitted to 4,100 ft.

It was permitted by Hollub, Lambert Drilling Company and has since transferred to Ernest Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Wilcox, Top Poth, Base Poth.

Its 3 leases have reported 3.26K barrels of oil and 41.2K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
