Lee County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Horizontal
May Unit #1RE (API 42-287-30534) is a horizontal well in Lee County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed October 17, 1979.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1979 and 2004, 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 lease has reported 32.3K barrels of oil and 736K 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.
