Vaquillas Ranch A-3 #67 (API 42-479-34851) is a well in Webb County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed July 15, 1989 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued May 3, 1989, permitted to 9,050 ft.
It was permitted by Conoco Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Queen City, Carrizo, Lobo.
Its 2 leases have reported 9.39K barrels of oil and 1.92M 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.
