Lee County · Giddings (Austin Chalk Gas) field · Vertical
Laura Unit #1 (API 42-287-30503) is a plugged well in Lee County, plugged April 17, 2026, last operated by Damson Oil Corp..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 28, 1979, permitted to 10,000 ft.
It was permitted by U. S. Resources, Inc. and has since transferred to Damson Oil Corp. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Austin Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 21K barrels of oil and 413K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in March 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
