Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
Wells named Means R. M.
Hilcorp Energy Company's other wells filed under this lease name in Andrews County, newest permit first. The RRC gives a gas well its own lease number, so the name is what joins the wells of a unit.

Operator on the lease's P-4
Each operator named on the P-4 filings for this well's lease (a gas well is its own lease), from the date its filing took effect. The P-4 is filed by lease, so a date before the well was drilled is the lease's.
