Bradford #1 (API 42-429-34831) is a well in Stephens County operated by Braka Operating L.L.C., completed August 21, 1997 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 22, 1987, permitted to 4,700 ft.
It was permitted by Black Gold Petroleum CO. (A) and has since transferred to Braka Operating L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Marble Falls, Duffer, Barnett.
Its 2 leases have reported 2.56K barrels of oil and 785K 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.
