East Gilchrist A-153 Unit #1 (API 42-241-30656) is a horizontal well in Jasper County operated by Rme Petroleum Company, completed May 5, 1999.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended 3 times), issued November 12, 1998, permitted to 15,500 ft.
It was permitted by Union Pacific Resources Company and has since transferred to Rme Petroleum Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Midway, Navarro, Ozan, Taylor.
Its 2 leases have reported 19.7K barrels of oil and 306K mcf of gas since May 1999, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
