Giles J. E. GU 1 #3L
Wise County · Boonsville (Bend Congl. Gas) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Giles J. E. GU 1 #3L (API 42-497-33704) is a well in Wise County operated by Bkv Barnett LLC, completed January 6, 1993 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in October 1, 2012.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) in 1992, permitted to 5,989 ft.
It was permitted by Mitchell Energy Corporation and has since transferred to Bkv Barnett LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Caughlin, Kenkirk, Tidwell, Caddo.
Its 3 leases have reported 4.69K barrels of oil and 378K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
