Goldsmith C. A. Etal #1559 (API 42-135-34794) is a plugged well in Ector County, plugged July 24, 1992, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1985 and 1989, permitted to 6,350 ft.
It was permitted by Chevron U. S. A. Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Grayburg, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 606K barrels of oil and 1.05M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 48 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
