Beluga Unit #1 (API 42-051-33601) is a horizontal well in Burleson County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed August 21, 2001 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued May 2, 2001, permitted to 12,792 ft.
It was permitted by Rme Petroleum Company and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 206K barrels of oil and 252K mcf of gas since August 2001, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
