Hill M. J. -23-A- #22 (API 42-495-05436) is a plugged well in Winkler County, plugged January 2, 2008, last operated by Shell Western E&P.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 26, 1991, permitted to 5,375 ft.
It was permitted by Oryx Energy Company and has since transferred to Shell Western E&P on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Queen.
Its 2 leases have reported 3 barrels of oil since January 1993, last reporting in January 2015. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
