Hamman John B #15
Hidalgo County · Monte Christo (Frio Cons.) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Hamman John B #15 (API 42-215-31500) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed March 5, 1994 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 1999.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1984 and 1994, permitted to 9,950 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 2 formation tops, including Frio, Vicksburg.
Its 2 leases have reported 283K 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.
