Ephraim #1RE (API 42-149-32073) is a horizontal well in Fayette County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed January 28, 2006.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits (amended once) between 1985 and 2006, permitted to 9,962 ft.
It was permitted by Anadarko E&P Company LP and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Chalk, Top Chalk, Buda.
Its 2 leases have reported 66.3K barrels of oil and 185K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
