Russell Clearfork Unit #223 (API 42-165-31597) is a plugged well in Gaines County, plugged August 24, 2025, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 9, 1979, permitted to 7,800 ft.
It was permitted by Mobil Oil Corporation and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Yates, Seven Rivers, Queen, Grayburg.
Its 3 leases have reported 21M barrels of oil and 13.4M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 1,101 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

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.

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.
