Howard County · Moore field · Injection · Vertical
Hatch #1 (API 42-227-32669) is a well in Howard County operated by Free Rein Operating LLC, completed July 12, 2021 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 25, 1982, permitted to 3,275 ft.
It was permitted by V-F Petroleum Inc. and has since transferred to Free Rein Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Yates, Grayberg, Grayburg, San Andres.
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.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 8.33K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through December 2025.
