Nora #1RE
Lee County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Producing · Horizontal · Sidetrack
Nora #1RE (API 42-287-31339) is a horizontal well in Lee County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed August 9, 1999 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1983 and 2001, permitted to 9,160 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 lease has reported 64K barrels of oil and 1.21M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in March 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
