Hutchings Stock Assn. #968
Ward County · Ward-Estes N. (Wichita-Albany) field · Shut In · Vertical
Hutchings Stock Assn. #968 (API 42-475-30561) is a well in Ward County operated by Sundown Energy LP, completed September 30, 1997 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 2000.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 12, 1997, permitted to 8,642 ft.
It was permitted by Chevron U. S. A. Inc. and has since transferred to Sundown Energy LP on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Wichita-Albany, Pennsylvanian.
Its 2 leases have reported 3.38M barrels of oil and 7.36M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in March 2026. The leases carry 54 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
