Whitwell Margaret #1H
Lee County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Horizontal · Sidetrack
Whitwell Margaret #1H (API 42-287-30229) is a horizontal well in Lee County operated by Salt Of The Earth Energy LLC, completed February 15, 1978.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1977 and 1994, permitted to 12,050 ft.
It was permitted by Texas Independent Explor., Inc. and has since transferred to Salt Of The Earth Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 127K barrels of oil and 227K 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 Texas Independent Explor., Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
