Mccutchen W. A. #18 (API 42-495-31925) is a plugged well in Winkler County, plugged January 21, 2011, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 16, 1985, permitted to 4,600 ft.

It was permitted by Bass Enterprises Production CO. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Queen, Grayburg, San Andres.

Its lease has reported 80.7K barrels of oil and 217K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
