Branch-Smith Unit No. 1 #7H
Lee County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Shut IN · Horizontal
Branch-Smith Unit NO. 1 #7H (API 42-287-32418) is a horizontal well in Lee County operated by Senora Resources Inc., completed August 20, 2003 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1994 and 2003, permitted to 13,000 ft.
It was permitted by Holifield Oil Company and has since transferred to Senora Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Austin Chalk.
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.
