Limestone County · Freestone (CV-Bossier Cons.) field · Producing · Vertical
Morton NO. 1 Gas Unit #4 (API 42-293-31082) is a well in Limestone County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed July 11, 1995 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule, shut in May 1, 2016.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued September 29, 1994, permitted to 11,850 ft.
It was permitted by Marathon Oil Company and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Buda, Glen Rose, Base Mass. Anhyd, Pettit.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.07K barrels of oil and 996K mcf of gas since November 1994, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
