Fayette County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Producing · Horizontal · Sidetrack

Kay #1H (API 42-149-31541) is a horizontal well in Fayette County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed August 5, 1993 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.

The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits between 1983 and 1993, permitted to 13,670 ft.

It was permitted by Chesapeake Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Lower Chalk, Tuff Maker, Eagle Ford.

Its lease has reported 206K barrels of oil and 2.28M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
