Hitts Lake Unit #121 (API 42-423-30299) is a well in Smith County operated by Valence Operating Company, completed June 3, 2022 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 12, 1977, permitted to 7,400 ft.
It was permitted by Sun Exploration & Production CO. and has since transferred to Valence Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Pecan Gap, Bot Austin Chalk, Woodbine, Lower Cret.
Its lease has reported 1.87M barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 46 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 61K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through October 2025.
