Lee County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Horizontal · Sidetrack
Branch-Smith Unit NO. 1 #6H (API 42-287-32343) is a horizontal well in Lee County operated by Senora Resources Inc., completed August 19, 1992.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1992 and 2003, permitted to 14,100 ft.
It was permitted by Holifield Oil Company and has since transferred to Senora Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Chalk, Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford.
Its lease has reported 292K barrels of oil and 2.84M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
