Ruthie #1RE
Lee County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Producing · Horizontal
Ruthie #1RE (API 42-287-30468) is a horizontal well in Lee County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed October 13, 2005 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1979 and 2005, permitted to 10,000 ft.
It was permitted by U. S. Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Austin Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 10.2K barrels of oil and 1.5M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
