Means R. M. #302 (API 42-003-02731) is a plugged well in Andrews County, plugged August 6, 2013, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 31, 1991, permitted to 4,650 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 89.5M barrels of oil and 52.6M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 1,292 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
