Townsite Unit #3
Fayette County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Horizontal
Townsite Unit #3 (API 42-149-32971) is a horizontal well in Fayette County operated by Redbud E & P Inc., completed November 19, 1996.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued July 5, 1995, permitted to 12,000 ft.
It was permitted by Union Pacific Resources Company and has since transferred to Redbud E & P Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Taylor, Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 83.9K barrels of oil and 1.17M mcf of gas since November 1996, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
