Dry Hole #1RE (API 42-149-31500) is a horizontal well in Fayette County operated by Tex-Lee Operating Company, completed June 29, 1983.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1983 and 1999, permitted to 10,000 ft.
It was permitted by Wcs Oil And Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Tex-Lee Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 33.1K barrels of oil and 54.1K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
