H & J Sec. 451 #27H (API 42-165-36895) is a horizontal well in Gaines County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed March 15, 2013 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 2025.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 2008 and 2010, permitted to 11,700 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, Pennsylvanian, Mississippian.

Its lease has reported 2.53M barrels of oil and 921K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 33 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
