Andrews County · Means South (Wolfcamp) field · Shut In · Vertical
Means J. S. A/C 4 #323 (API 42-003-32401) is a well in Andrews County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed June 29, 1990 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 1998.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 24, 1980, permitted to 9,500 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 1.33M barrels of oil and 1.2M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 22 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
