Hess J. W. #34 (API 42-097-31683) is a well in Cooke County operated by V & H Oil L.P., completed January 12, 1990 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 12, 1980, permitted to 1,675 ft.
It was permitted by Nadel & Gussman and has since transferred to V & H Oil L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Cisco, Strawn.
Its lease has reported 16.8K barrels of oil and 21 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.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 37.2K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through August 2025.
