Goldsmith C. A. Etal #538W (API 42-135-00917) is a plugged well in Ector County, plugged June 30, 2023, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 16, 2013, permitted to 6,600 ft.
It was permitted by Xto Energy Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Holt, Glorieta, 5600, Clear Fork.
Its 2 leases have reported 26.8M barrels of oil and 53M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 1,583 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
