Hoople G. W. #17 (API 42-107-30837) is a well in Crosby County operated by Chi Operating Inc., completed August 29, 1985 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 25, 1985, permitted to 4,600 ft.
It was permitted by Duncan Drilling CO. and has since transferred to Chi Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Clear Fork.
Its lease has reported 537K barrels of oil and 196 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
