Tortuga B Unit #1RE
Dimmit County · Pearsall (Austin Chalk) field · Horizontal
Tortuga B Unit #1RE (API 42-127-32843) is a horizontal well in Dimmit County operated by Crescent Energy Operating LLC, completed October 1, 2005.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1990 and 2005, permitted to 7,000 ft.
It was permitted by Sage Energy Company and has since transferred to Crescent Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Olmos, Anacacho, Austin Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 503K barrels of oil and 246K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
