Means /San Andres/ Unit #1874 (API 42-003-38872) is a well in Andrews County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed July 7, 2011 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 2001 and 2010, permitted to 5,067 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Mobil Corporation and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Grayburg, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 89M barrels of oil and 52.4M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 1,236 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Well logs
2 logs loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Dec 17, 2014. Resistivity. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
