Lipscomb County · Frass SE. (Morrow Lo.) field · Producing · Vertical
Helfenbein Unit -A- #1 (API 42-295-31565) is a well in Lipscomb County operated by Presidio Petroleum LLC, completed July 26, 1997 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits in 1984, permitted to 9,044 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Presidio Petroleum LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Tonkawa, Cleveland, Atoka, Morrow.
Its 3 leases have reported 650 barrels of oil and 1.51M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in March 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
