Hatch -A- #1
Howard County · Moore field · Vertical
Hatch -A- #1 (API 42-227-32037) is a well in Howard County operated by Baxter Kelly H., completed May 12, 1980.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 19, 1979, permitted to 3,300 ft.
It was permitted by V-F Petroleum Inc. and has since transferred to Baxter Kelly H. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 52K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
