Hockley County · Smyer field · Shut In · Vertical
Ellwood A #179 (API 42-219-36110) is a well in Hockley County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed July 8, 2019 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in June 1, 2022.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 28, 1994, permitted to 6,000 ft.
It was permitted by MW Petroleum Corporation and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Clear Fork.
Its lease has reported 6.4M barrels of oil and 726K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 161 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
