Ball Sam #14
Guadalupe County · LA Vernia field · Vertical
Ball Sam #14 (API 42-187-33666) is a well in Guadalupe County operated by Brac Oil, completed June 23, 2016.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 15, 2016, permitted to 850 ft.
It was permitted by Texas Secondary Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Brac Oil on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Buda, Catahoula, Edwards.
Its 2 leases have reported 6.82K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 15 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
