Jones E. H. A #1 (API 42-165-00178) is a well in Gaines County operated by R2q Operating LLC, completed October 18, 1989 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1985 and 1989, permitted to 11,635 ft.
It was permitted by Amerada Hess Corporation and has since transferred to R2q Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Clear Fork, Tubbs.
Its lease has reported 211K barrels of oil and 17.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
