Hickl Louis #1
Matagorda County · EL Maton (Frio 10778) field · Vertical
Hickl Louis #1 (API 42-321-31537) is a well in Matagorda County operated by Midpar L.P., completed May 28, 1987.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1987 and 1993, permitted to 15,000 ft.
It was permitted by Graham Royalty, Ltd. and has since transferred to Midpar L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Frio, Nonion Struma, Nodosaria Blanpiedi, Anomalina Bilateralis.
Its 2 leases have reported 2.13K barrels of oil and 632 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.
