Shut in

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

Church Charles #1 (API 42-149-31646) is a horizontal well in Fayette County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed February 7, 1995 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2026.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1983 and 1994, permitted to 13,158 ft.

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

Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford, Buda.

Its 3 leases have reported 186K barrels of oil and 3.31M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
