New Hope Unit #1502 (API 42-159-30538) is a well in Franklin County operated by J.P. Oil Company Inc., completed June 3, 2022 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 2007 and 2015, permitted to 9,000 ft.
It was permitted by Xto Energy Inc. and has since transferred to J.P. Oil Company Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Glen Rose, BMA, Bacon Lime, Pittsburg.
Its lease has reported 1.08M barrels of oil and 2.52M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
