Hughes #1 (API 42-399-34427) is a plugged well in Runnels County, plugged April 20, 2020, last operated by Golden Oil And Ranch LLC.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1996 and 2013, permitted to 4,800 ft.

It was permitted by Southcoast Resources, LLC and has since transferred to Golden Oil And Ranch LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Palo Pinto, Top Upper Caps, Top Fry Sand, Base Lower Caps.

Its 2 leases have reported 11.7K barrels of oil and 1.87K mcf of gas since March 1996, last reporting in June 2020. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
