Saenger Otto #1
Lee County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Vertical
Saenger Otto #1 (API 42-287-32116) is a plugged well in Lee County, plugged May 31, 2013, last operated by Enervest Operating L.L.C..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 29, 1987, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Rgr Production and has since transferred to Enervest Operating L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford.
Its lease has reported 5.84K barrels of oil and 48.5K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in October 2013. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
