Hutchings Stock Assn. #1553 (API 42-475-34435) is a well in Ward County operated by Sundown Energy LP, completed May 7, 1997 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued December 23, 1996, permitted to 7,270 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 Holt, Wichita-Albany.
Its lease has reported 3.15M barrels of oil and 6.46M mcf of gas since March 1995, last reporting volume in March 2026. The lease carries 41 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
