Brooks County · Kelsey (Frio Consol.) field · Producing · Vertical
Kelsey Unit #S 30M (API 42-047-00958) is a well in Brooks County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed December 8, 2020 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1978 and 1993, permitted to 6,750 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Catahoula, Vicksburg, Miocene (undifferentiated).
Its 4 leases have reported 402K barrels of oil and 630K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 51 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
