Matthews #12 (API 42-055-34640) is a well in Caldwell County operated by Hidden Oaks Oil Company LLC, completed March 11, 1993 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 21, 1992, permitted to 2,800 ft.
It was permitted by Lockhart Oil & Gas and has since transferred to Hidden Oaks Oil Company LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 87.5K barrels of oil and 159K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
