Bernice #1
Fayette County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Horizontal
Bernice #1 (API 42-149-31729) is a horizontal well in Fayette County operated by Cml Exploration LLC, completed June 21, 2001.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1984 and 2001, permitted to 11,700 ft.
It was permitted by Orbis Energy, L.L.C. and has since transferred to Cml Exploration LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford, Pecan Gap.
Its 2 leases have reported 29.9K barrels of oil and 1.08M 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.
