WELL · 42-287-30851 · DISTRICT 3
Mabel Unit #3RE
Lee County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Horizontal
Mabel Unit #3RE (API 42-287-30851) is a horizontal well in Lee County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed July 17, 1981.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1981 and 2004, permitted to 9,300 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 2 leases have reported 106K barrels of oil and 1.68M 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.
