Gerdes B #2RE (API 42-287-30517) is a horizontal well in Lee County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed July 19, 1995.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1979 and 2001, permitted to 9,300 ft.
It was permitted by Rme Austin Chalk Company and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 381K barrels of oil and 7.92M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 16 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
