Della #1RE
Lee County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Horizontal · Sidetrack
Della #1RE (API 42-287-31285) is a horizontal well in Lee County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed March 29, 1995.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits (amended once) between 1982 and 2006, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Anadarko E&P Company LP and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including B/Wilcox, Wilcox, Navarro, Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 113K barrels of oil and 1.9M 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.
