West Levelland Unit #279 (API 42-079-32345) is a well in Cochran County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed December 31, 1988 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 14, 1988, permitted to 4,980 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Seven Rivers, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 14.1M barrels of oil and 3.22M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 361 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
