Gerdes #2RE
Lee County · Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) field · Producing · Horizontal
Gerdes #2RE (API 42-287-32471) is a horizontal well in Lee County operated by Magnolia Oil & Gas Operating LLC, completed April 12, 2001 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1995 and 2001, permitted to 10,401 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 35.1K barrels of oil and 624K mcf of gas since September 1995, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
