Burttschell A #1 (API 42-287-31578) is a plugged well in Lee County, plugged May 12, 2022, last operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1984 and 2011, permitted to 9,500 ft.
It was permitted by Enervest Operating, L.L.C. and has since transferred to Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford.
Its 2 leases have reported 46.8K barrels of oil and 250K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in April 2023. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
