Hardwick-Biggs Unit #2 (API 42-287-30554) is a well in Lee County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed November 10, 1979.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1979 and 2007, permitted to 7,949 ft.
It was permitted by Wcs Oil & Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford.
Its 3 leases have reported 314K barrels of oil and 296K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
