H & J Unit 1 D #79 (API 42-165-36579) is a well in Gaines County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed December 21, 2021 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued June 19, 2006, permitted to 12,000 ft.
It was permitted by Xto Energy Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Tubb, L/Clearfork, Clear Fork, Pennsylvanian.
Its lease has reported 3.89M barrels of oil and 850K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 47 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
