Schmidt #1
Frio County · Pearsall (Austin Chalk) field · Producing · Horizontal
Schmidt #1 (API 42-163-32791) is a horizontal well in Frio County operated by Zorra Oil & Gas, completed November 23, 1990 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued July 31, 1990, permitted to 8,500 ft.
It was permitted by Ampak Oil Company and has since transferred to Zorra Oil & Gas on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Anacacho, Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 84.1K barrels of oil and 3.8K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Ampak Oil Company; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
