Gaines County · Russell (Clearfork Consolidated field · Shut In · Vertical
Russell Clearfork Unit #968 (API 42-165-36545) is a well in Gaines County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed October 6, 2016 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 2006 and 2016, permitted to 11,886 ft.
It was permitted by Xto Energy Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Wolfcamp, Pennsylvanian, Mississippian.
Its 2 leases have reported 12.6M barrels of oil and 9.96M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 487 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
