Guelker Unit #1
Lee County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Shut IN · Vertical
Guelker Unit #1 (API 42-287-31001) is a well in Lee County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed November 29, 1981 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 23, 1981, permitted to 11,000 ft.
It was permitted by Tipco and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 175K barrels of oil and 1.14M 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.
