Eastland County · Eastland County Regular field · NO Production · Vertical
Hightower #7 (API 42-133-37408) is a well in Eastland County operated by Scranton Exploration, completed September 1, 1990 and listed as no production on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 13, 1989, permitted to 1,500 ft.
It was permitted by B & L Operating CO. and has since transferred to Scranton Exploration on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Strawn.
Its lease has reported 12.4K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by B & L Operating Co.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
