Badger #1RE
Burleson County · Giddings (Buda) field · Producing · Horizontal · Sidetrack
Badger #1RE (API 42-051-33138) is a horizontal well in Burleson County operated by Wildfire Energy Operating LLC, completed August 18, 2000 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1990 and 2000, permitted to 15,000 ft.
It was permitted by Union Pacific Resources Company and has since transferred to Wildfire Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Midway, Navarro, Taylor, Taylord.
Its 2 leases have reported 95K barrels of oil and 809K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
