Driscoll Robert #404
Duval County · Conoco Driscoll field · Vertical
Driscoll Robert #404 (API 42-131-38132) is a well in Duval County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed December 18, 2012.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 16, 1996, permitted to 7,500 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Upper 1st Gov'T, 1st Pettus, 3rd Driscoll.
Its 2 leases have reported 2.19M barrels of oil and 2.11M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 76 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
