Webb County · Vaquillas Ranch (Lobo Cons.) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Vaquillas Ranch #16 (API 42-479-35834) is a well in Webb County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed November 10, 1993 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2002.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits in 1993, permitted to 12,100 ft.
It was permitted by Transtexas Gas Corporation and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including T/Wilcox, B/Wilcox, Wills Point.
Its 2 leases have reported 942 barrels of oil and 377K mcf of gas since August 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
