Johnson F. I. #43DF
Hidalgo County · Monte Christo ( 25) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Johnson F. I. #43DF (API 42-215-31449) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed June 18, 2013 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2017.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1984 and 2013, permitted to 7,750 ft.
It was permitted by Newfield Exploration Company and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Frio.
Its 4 leases have reported 899 barrels of oil and 717K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
