Bentsen Tract 1 #1
Starr County · Hinde East (Frio 5500) field · Vertical
Bentsen Tract 1 #1 (API 42-427-30215) is a well in Starr County operated by Pyle Petroleum, completed July 22, 1975.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1978 and 2004, permitted to 6,000 ft.
It was permitted by Samson Lone Star LP and has since transferred to Pyle Petroleum on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Frio.
Its 2 leases have reported 452 barrels of oil and 5.88K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 92.4K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through November 2025.
