Hidalgo County · El Staggs (7330) field · Producing · Vertical
Garza ET AL Unit #3 (API 42-215-32374) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed January 25, 2010 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule, shut in September 1, 2021.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1996 and 2010, permitted to 9,805 ft.
It was permitted by Chesapeake Operating, Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Flaxman "A", Garza, Garza Sand, Garza Sd..
Its 2 leases have reported 48.7K barrels of oil and 6.09M mcf of gas since May 1997, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
