Refugio County Surface & Subsurface Development Project Summary
Play: Eagle Ford Shale
County: Refugio County, Texas
Executive Summary
RISING STAR ENERGY PARTNERS II is executing a focused Eagle Ford development program in Refugio County, Texas. The current permitting inventory consists of 8 wells organized across 6 drilling pads, with development concentrated within the La Rosa (Consolidated, Oil) Field.
The operator is utilizing a multi-well pad development strategy, with permits issued over approximately one month. Drilling activity has commenced on selected pads while several permitted locations remain undrilled, indicating a phased drilling program. The consistent projected drilling depths, standardized directional well design, and concentrated surface footprint reflect a mature development program focused on efficiently developing an established lease position.

Surface Persona
RISING STAR ENERGY PARTNERS II is systematically developing a concentrated Eagle Ford position in Refugio County through a combination of multi-well and single-well drilling pads. Permits are clustered to minimize surface disturbance while maximizing access to contiguous leasehold acreage. Active drilling has commenced on selected pads, while additional permitted locations provide inventory for future development.

Subsurface Persona
| Category | Observation |
| Reservoir | La Rosa (Consolidated, Oil) |
| Target Interval | Consistent across all wells |
| Well Design | Primarily directional |
| Vertical Wells | Limited operational support wells |
| Development Style | Repeatable standardized drilling program |
Subsurface Persona
The subsurface program targets the La Rosa (Consolidated, Oil) field using a standardized drilling design with a projected depth of approximately 7,300 feet across all wells. The predominance of directional oil wells indicates a repeatable development strategy focused on a well-defined reservoir. The limited number of vertical injection wells likely support field operations (such as produced-water management or other infrastructure functions), although the permit data alone does not identify their specific purpose. Overall, the program reflects disciplined development of a mature Eagle Ford asset rather than exploration.
Key Development Indicators

Overall Project Assessment
RISING STAR ENERGY PARTNERS II is executing a phased, pad-based Eagle Ford development program centered on Refugio County and the La Rosa (Consolidated, Oil) field. The surface strategy employs clustered multi-well pads to efficiently develop contiguous acreage, while the subsurface plan uses standardized directional wells targeting a consistent reservoir interval at approximately 7,300 feet. Drilling activity has begun on two pads with Wisco Moran Rig 7, and the remaining permitted locations represent a pipeline of future drilling opportunities. The combination of concentrated acreage, repeatable well design, and staged permitting is characteristic of a mature shale development program focused on efficient resource development and disciplined capital deployment.
