Forest Hill /Harris SD/ Unit #257 (API 42-499-30834) is a well in Wood County operated by Gaither Petroleum Corporation, completed December 19, 1980.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 1997, permitted to 9,600 ft.
It was permitted by Exzena Oil Corp. and has since transferred to Gaither Petroleum Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Naconiche, Pecan Gap, Austin Chalk.
Its 2 leases have reported 61.1K barrels of oil and 59 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 124 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
