Old Ocean Unit #228SWD (API 42-039-31250) is a well in Brazoria County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed December 16, 2008 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in May 1, 2019.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits in 1978, permitted to 3,430 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 7.96K barrels of oil and 222K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 32 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
