McGill Bros. #174
Starr County · Kelsey (Frio Consol.) field · Vertical
Mcgill Bros. #174 (API 42-427-00214) is a plugged well in Starr County, plugged November 5, 2010, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 13, 1989, permitted to 8,582 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 100K barrels of oil and 564K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 58 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
