Francis #1 (API 42-149-31720) is a well in Fayette County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed March 9, 1984 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 30, 1983, permitted to 11,520 ft.
It was permitted by Geosouthern Energy Corporation and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford, False Buda.
Its 2 leases have reported 7.15K barrels of oil and 1.14M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
