Harper -A- #1 (API 42-401-31095) is a well in Rusk County operated by Nadel And Gussman L.L.C., completed June 5, 1981.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 1992, permitted to 8,100 ft.

It was permitted by Marathon Oil Company and has since transferred to Nadel And Gussman L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Austin Chalk, Rodessa, James Lime, Pettit.

Its 3 leases have reported 99.6K barrels of oil and 608K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
