Russell Clearfork Unit #318 (API 42-165-36286) is a well in Gaines County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed January 27, 2015 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 16, 2004, permitted to 8,755 ft.
It was permitted by Xto Energy Inc. 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 in July 2026. The leases carry 1,101 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
