Wenke Unit A #1
Lee County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Vertical
Wenke Unit A #1 (API 42-287-30914) is a well in Lee County operated by Tex-Lee Operating Company, completed May 17, 1981.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1981 and 2003, permitted to 8,400 ft.
It was permitted by Anadarko E&P Company LP and has since transferred to Tex-Lee Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford, Buda, Georgetown.
Its 2 leases have reported 24.7K barrels of oil and 24K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
