Helbing #10 (API 42-105-37780) is a plugged well in Crockett County, plugged September 26, 2012, last operated by Extex Operating Company.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued August 7, 1997, permitted to 8,900 ft.

It was permitted by Pioneer Natural Res. USA, Inc. and has since transferred to Extex Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report one formation top, including Clear Fork.

Its lease has reported 4.96K barrels of oil and 10.5K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
