Bracken J. A. 35 #20 (API 42-467-30977) is a well in Van Zandt County operated by Basa Resources Inc., completed July 17, 1997 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 20, 1997, permitted to 2,500 ft.
It was permitted by Union Oil Company Of California and has since transferred to Basa Resources Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Nacatoch, Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk.
Its lease has reported 272K barrels of oil and 600K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 13 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
