Means /San Andres/ Unit #6822 (API 42-003-38956) is a well in Andrews County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed May 15, 2002 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in September 1, 2024.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 18, 2002, permitted to 4,640 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Mobil Corporation and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Queen, 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.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
