Knesek E. Unit #1
Burleson County · Big -a- Taylor field · Temp Abandoned · Horizontal
Knesek E. Unit #1 (API 42-051-33153) is a horizontal well in Burleson County operated by Wildfire Energy Operating LLC, completed August 10, 1995 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in December 1, 2019.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1990 and 1995, permitted to 11,141 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 Taylor, Austin Chalk, A. Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 13.7K barrels of oil and 451K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
