Marion County · Green Fox E. (Travis Peak) field · Vertical
Hill Nelson Gas Unit #1 (API 42-315-30729) is a plugged well in Marion County, plugged November 16, 2017, last operated by Schneider Energy Exploration Inc.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1987 and 1992, permitted to 6,500 ft.
It was permitted by Jamex, Inc. and has since transferred to Schneider Energy Exploration Inc on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Massive Anhydrite (marker), B.M.A., Pettit, Travis Peak.
Its 3 leases have reported 22K barrels of oil and 80.5K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
