New Hope Deep Unit #46D (API 42-159-30422) is a plugged well in Franklin County, plugged February 6, 2014, last operated by Xto Energy Inc..

The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1987 and 1997, permitted to 13,600 ft.

It was permitted by Texaco E & P Inc. and has since transferred to Xto Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Woodbine, Paluxy, Mass. Anhydrite, Pittsburg.

Its 3 leases have reported 1.59M barrels of oil and 1.01M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 42 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
