Penelope #1RE
Lee County · Giddings (Austin Chalk Gas) field · Horizontal
Penelope #1RE (API 42-287-30511) is a horizontal well in Lee County operated by Aop Operating Corporation, completed August 13, 1979.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1979 and 2004, permitted to 9,700 ft.
It was permitted by Anadarko E&P Company LP and has since transferred to Aop Operating Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford, False Buda.
Its lease has reported 31.9K barrels of oil and 982K 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.
