Frio County · Pearsall (Austin Chalk) field · Horizontal
Panther Hollow #1H (API 42-163-32960) is a plugged horizontal well in Frio County, plugged March 17, 1995, last operated by Oryx Energy Company.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits (amended once) between 1990 and 2011, permitted to 11,300 ft.
It was permitted by U.S. Enercorp, Ltd. and has since transferred to Oryx Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Midway, San Miguel, Anacacho, Austin Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 1M barrels of oil and 1.75M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 48 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
