Huffman V. S. #1 (API 42-039-31502) is a well in Brazoria County operated by Howard Exploration Inc., completed July 18, 1996.

The RRC has issued 6 drilling permits between 1979 and 2000, permitted to 8,240 ft.

It was permitted by Elliott Oil & Gas Company and has since transferred to Howard Exploration Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Miocene (undifferentiated), Frio.

Its 8 leases have reported 24.6K barrels of oil and 183K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
