Webb County · Vaquillas Ranch (Lobo Cons.) field · Producing · Vertical
Vaquillas Ranch CO. Ltd #8 (API 42-479-32868) is a well in Webb County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed March 30, 1993 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 1993, permitted to 10,240 ft.
It was permitted by Conoco Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Queen City, Wilcox.
Its 2 leases have reported 5.02K barrels of oil and 1.41M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
