WELL · 42-429-32639 · DISTRICT 7
Ledbetter #1
Stephens County · Stephens County Regular field · Vertical
Ledbetter #1 (API 42-429-32639) is a well in Stephens County operated by H-M Oil Company, completed October 15, 1980.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 2015, permitted to 4,000 ft.
It was permitted by Braka Operating, L.L.C. and has since transferred to H-M Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Bend.
Its 3 leases have reported 45 barrels of oil and 316K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Braka Operating, L.L.C.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
