Brown-Altman -B- #48 (API 42-495-32738) is a plugged well in Winkler County, plugged August 20, 1999, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued October 19, 1998, 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 5 formation tops, including San Andres, Holt, Clear Fork, Tubb.

Its lease has reported 1.04M barrels of oil and 852K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 17 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
