McGill Bros. #277
Starr County · Kelsey (Frio Consol.) field · Vertical
Mcgill Bros. #277 (API 42-427-00240) is a plugged well in Starr County, plugged May 30, 2006, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 7, 1997, permitted to 5,690 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 48 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
