Hughes #7 (API 42-441-34538) is a well in Taylor County operated by Sojourner Drilling Corporation, completed August 29, 2017 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 5, 2016, permitted to 2,000 ft.
It was permitted by Schkade Bros. Operating Company and has since transferred to Sojourner Drilling Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Coleman Junction, Dothan Lime, Tannehill, Cisco.
Its lease has reported 1.63M barrels of oil and 70.4K mcf of gas since December 1995, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
