Fayette County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Producing · Horizontal · Sidetrack
Bell #1H (API 42-149-31859) is a horizontal well in Fayette County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed February 27, 1998 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1984 and 1997, permitted to 11,480 ft.
It was permitted by Rosewood Resources, Inc. and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.07K barrels of oil and 2.25M 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.
