Shelby County · Carthage (Cotton Valley) field · Producing · Vertical
Ballard GU 1 #1 (API 42-419-31153) is a well in Shelby County operated by Tgnr East Texas II LLC, completed December 10, 2007 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2007 and 2008, permitted to 11,500 ft.
It was permitted by Samson Lone Star, LLC and has since transferred to Tgnr East Texas II LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Glen Rose, Massive Anhydrite (marker), James Lime.
Its 2 leases have reported 4.53K barrels of oil and 347K mcf of gas since May 2007, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
