Gaines County · G-M-K South (San Andres) field · Injection · Vertical
H & J Sec. 127-B #15 (API 42-165-31502) is a well in Gaines County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed January 3, 2025 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 28, 1978, permitted to 5,550 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 Rustler, Yates, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 2.06M barrels of oil and 1.04M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 19 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 7.64K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through October 2025.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.
Wells nearby
Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
