Winkler County · Emperor (Wolfcamp) field · Vertical
Brown-Altman -B- #42 (API 42-495-31664) is a plugged well in Winkler County, plugged December 15, 2011, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1983 and 1997, permitted to 8,000 ft.
It was permitted by Exxon Corp. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Queen, Tubb.
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.
