C. E. Franks Gas Unit #6 (API 42-167-31379) is a well in Galveston County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed August 18, 2003 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued May 1, 2003, permitted to 12,900 ft.
It was permitted by Hunt, Hassie Exploration CO. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 419K barrels of oil and 2.19M mcf of gas since July 2003, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
