Starr County · Rincon (Vicksburg Cons.) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical

Permitted field: Frost, North (Wood FB-3)

Slick T. B. Estate A #173 (API 42-427-32744) is a well in Starr County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed December 26, 2003 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in November 1, 2003.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1995 and 1996, permitted to 8,100 ft.

It was permitted by Conoco Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Vicksburg, Lower Wood, 7650, 7800.

Its 2 leases have reported 20.6K barrels of oil and 574K mcf of gas since June 1995, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
