Simmons Hardin #1 (API 42-003-37389) is a well in Andrews County operated by Vin Fisher Operating Inc., completed January 15, 1994 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 16, 1993, permitted to 4,600 ft.
It was permitted by Ausland Production Company and has since transferred to Vin Fisher Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Yates, Grayburg, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 46.8K barrels of oil and 51.7K mcf of gas since January 1994, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
