Brooks G. W. Fee #52 (API 42-199-00273) is a well in Hardin County operated by Foundation Energy Management LLC, completed June 17, 1999 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 21, 1999, permitted to 7,909 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Foundation Energy Management LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 363K barrels of oil and 1.07M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
