Webb County · Vaquillas Ranch (Lobo Cons.) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
Vaquillas Ranch D #117 (API 42-479-35879) is a well in Webb County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed March 1, 1998 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in May 1, 2004.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1993 and 1997, permitted to 11,823 ft.
It was permitted by Conoco Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Queen City, Carrizo, Wilcox, Lobo Unconformity.
Its 2 leases have reported 127 barrels of oil and 1.01M mcf of gas since October 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.
