Hockley County · Slaughter field · Producing · Horizontal
West Sundown Unit #18 (API 42-219-01790) is a horizontal well in Hockley County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed December 23, 2000 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 21, 2000, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Bass Enterprises Production CO. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including 1st Dense, 2nd Dense.
Its 2 leases have reported 9.63M barrels of oil and 5.81M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 282 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
