Vaquillas Ranch A1 #44 (API 42-479-33741) is a well in Webb County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed November 18, 2008 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1983 and 1996, permitted to 11,248 ft.
It was permitted by Conoco Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Wilcox, Lobo 1, Lobo 6, Wills Piont.
Its 2 leases have reported 27.4K barrels of oil and 3.73M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in August 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.

Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
