Gaines County · G-M-K South (San Andres) field · Vertical
May Tom #24 (API 42-165-31320) is a plugged well in Gaines County, plugged January 10, 2025, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 23, 1978, permitted to 13,500 ft.
It was permitted by Mobil Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Yates, Grayburg, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 4.77M barrels of oil and 9.51M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 33 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
