Mcgill Bros. #513 (API 42-427-31904) is a plugged well in Starr County, plugged October 28, 2009, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 8, 1984, permitted to 7,800 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 115K barrels of oil and 581K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in August 2026. The leases carry 47 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Exxon Corp.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
