Chapa Gas Unit #8
Hidalgo County · Tabasco (Consolidated) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Chapa Gas Unit #8 (API 42-215-32657) is a well in Hidalgo County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed February 2, 2003 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in December 1, 2018.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1999 and 2003, permitted to 9,200 ft.
It was permitted by Smith Production Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 24.4K barrels of oil and 741K mcf of gas since October 1999, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
