Hightower Ada J. #1
Henderson County · Moore Station (Rodessa) field · Vertical
Hightower Ada J. #1 (API 42-213-30394) is a well in Henderson County operated by Vanguard Operating LLC, completed February 14, 1984.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1983 and 2024, permitted to 11,500 ft.
It was permitted by Highmark Energy Operating, LLC and has since transferred to Vanguard Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Woodbine, Paluxy, Massive Anhydrite (marker), Rodessa.
Its 3 leases have reported 6.51K barrels of oil and 19.3M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
