Cochran County · Slaughter field · Shut In · Vertical
Dean C. S. A #256 (API 42-079-33064) is a well in Cochran County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed June 7, 2004 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in March 1, 2022.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 17, 2004, permitted to 5,130 ft.
It was permitted by Apache Corporation and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Grayburg, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 5.35M barrels of oil and 3.74M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 236 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Sep 7, 2007. Cased hole, Gamma ray, Neutron. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
