Smith-Knolle Unit #1
Burleson County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Horizontal
Smith-Knolle Unit #1 (API 42-051-33225) is a plugged horizontal well in Burleson County, plugged June 1, 2004, last operated by Apache Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 15, 1991, permitted to 14,850 ft.
It was permitted by Union Pacific Resources Company and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 16.7K barrels of oil and 369K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
