Brazoria County · Old Ocean (Armstrong) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Old Ocean Unit #42 (API 42-039-02836) is a well in Brazoria County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed November 1, 2008 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 1998.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 21, 1990, permitted to 10,908 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 7.96K barrels of oil and 477K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 33 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
