Burleson County · Giddings (Buda) field · Producing · Horizontal · Sidetrack
Frances Unit #1RE (API 42-051-33263) is a horizontal well in Burleson County operated by Wildfire Energy Operating LLC, completed February 6, 2001 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1991 and 2000, permitted to 12,500 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 4 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk, False Buda, Buda.
Its 2 leases have reported 127K barrels of oil and 629K 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.
