Gerdes-Bredthauer #1RE (API 42-287-31055) is a horizontal well in Lee County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed March 15, 2005 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1981 and 2005, permitted to 9,877 ft.
It was permitted by Anadarko E&P Company LP and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 149K barrels of oil and 733K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in December 2025. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
