Gaines County · Russell North (Devonian) field · Shut In · Horizontal
H & J Sec. 451 #15H (API 42-165-01744) is a horizontal well in Gaines County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed November 10, 2015 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in July 1, 2016.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1986 and 2007, permitted to 10,778 ft.
It was permitted by Xto Energy Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Salado, Grayburg, Clear Fork, Woodford.
Its lease has reported 2.53M barrels of oil and 921K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 33 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
