Scimitar #1 (API 42-135-38451) is a well in Ector County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed September 26, 2003.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2003 and 2019, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Oxy USA Wtp LP and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Tubb, Wtchita Albany, Wichita-Albany.
Its 2 leases have reported 251K barrels of oil and 1.45M mcf of gas since July 2003, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
