Callahan County · Three Aces (Flippen) field · Shut IN · Vertical
Gifford #1 (API 42-059-35702) is a well in Callahan County operated by Sojourner Drilling Corporation, completed December 5, 1990 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 9, 1987, permitted to 1,900 ft.
It was permitted by Paleosearch and has since transferred to Sojourner Drilling Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Saddle Creek, Top Saddle Crk, Flippen Sand, Top Flippen Sd.
Its lease has reported 11.4K barrels of oil and 19 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
