Morton NO.1 Gas Unit #2 (API 42-293-30946) is a well in Limestone County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed April 12, 2008 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1991 and 2005, permitted to 12,640 ft.
It was permitted by Xto Energy Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Georgetown, Goodland, Glen Rose, Pettit.
Its 2 leases have reported 14 barrels of oil and 1.68M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in August 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by XTO Energy Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.
Wells nearby
Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
