Hutchings Stock Assn. #973 (API 42-475-30607) is a well in Ward County operated by Sundown Energy LP, completed January 18, 2022 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in April 1, 2008.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 31, 1997, permitted to 8,550 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 4 formation tops, including San Andres, Wichita-Albany, Pennsylvanian, Strawn.

Its 2 leases have reported 3.38M barrels of oil and 7.36M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in March 2026. The leases carry 54 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
