Russell Clearfork Unit #1 (API 42-165-31262) is a well in Gaines County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed January 13, 2012 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1977 and 2001, permitted to 7,750 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Mobil Corporation and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Glorieta, Clear Fork, Tubb.
Its 4 leases have reported 18M barrels of oil and 12M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 799 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
