Bowers #1 H (API 42-287-30666) is a horizontal well in Lee County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed July 28, 1993.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 1993, permitted to 8,500 ft.
It was permitted by Gemini Exploration Company and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Wilcox, Top Mavarro "A", Navarro, Pecan Gap.
Its 3 leases have reported 208K barrels of oil and 2.01M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
