Lee W.C. #1
Rusk County · Oak Hill (Cotton Valley) field · Vertical
Lee W.C. #1 (API 42-401-34168) is a well in Rusk County operated by Encore Operating L.P., completed May 4, 2007.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 2006 and 2019, permitted to 11,200 ft.
It was permitted by Buffco Production Inc. and has since transferred to Encore Operating L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Travis Peak, Pettit, Cotton Valley, Top Octton Valley.
Its 3 leases have reported 5.49K barrels of oil and 780K mcf of gas since May 2007, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
