Earnest E #1
Eastland County · Ranger (Black Lime West) field · Abandoned · Vertical
Earnest E #1 (API 42-133-34845) is a well in Eastland County operated by Eastland Operating L.L.C., completed April 14, 1983 and listed as abandoned on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 6, 1983, permitted to 3,700 ft.
It was permitted by Ridge Oil Company and has since transferred to Eastland Operating L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Caddo, Lake Sand, Lake Sd, Marble Falls.
Its 3 leases have reported 2.74K barrels of oil and 155K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 12 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
