Hughes Vester #15
Reagan County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Shut In · Vertical
Hughes Vester #15 (API 42-383-31845) is a well in Reagan County operated by RP Operating L.L.C., completed September 17, 1981 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in September 1, 2024.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 31, 1980, permitted to 6,550 ft.
It was permitted by Energy Reserves Group, Inc. and has since transferred to RP Operating L.L.C. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 117K barrels of oil and 292K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in August 2024. The lease carries 16 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

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.

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.
