Franklin County · New Hope field · Producing · Horizontal
New Hope Unit #1604 (API 42-159-30493) is a horizontal well in Franklin County operated by J.P. Oil Company Inc., completed April 1, 1996 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1994 and 1996, permitted to 9,863 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco E & P Inc. and has since transferred to J.P. Oil Company Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Paluxy, M. Anhyd., Bacon, Hill.
Its 2 leases have reported 2.67M barrels of oil and 3.25M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in March 2026. The leases carry 57 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
