Winkler County · Emperor (Wolfcamp) field · Producing · Vertical
Brown-Altman -B- #15 (API 42-495-31170) is a well in Winkler County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed April 25, 2000 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 1997, permitted to 7,525 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Clfk, Wichita-Albany.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.05M barrels of oil and 5.89M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 27 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
