Hamman John B #18D
Hidalgo County · Monte Christo (Frio Cons.) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Hamman John B #18D (API 42-215-31497) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed May 1, 2003 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in December 1, 2012.
The RRC has issued 5 drilling permits between 1984 and 1990, permitted to 8,600 ft.
It was permitted by Mobil Producing TX. & N.M. Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including F-7, F-8, F-12.
Its 2 leases have reported 492 barrels of oil and 327K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
