Burns Frank #1 (API 42-135-37977) is a horizontal well in Ector County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed September 16, 2006 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 2001 and 2006, permitted to 8,275 ft.
It was permitted by Oxy USA Wtp LP and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 93.8K barrels of oil and 393K mcf of gas since June 2001, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
