Hull Silk 4000-Foot Lim Unit #21 (API 42-009-01488) is a plugged well in Archer County, plugged August 11, 2023, last operated by Lewis Operating Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 14, 1983, permitted to 3,900 ft.
It was permitted by Expando Production Company and has since transferred to Lewis Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 463K barrels of oil and 61 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 56 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
