Yoakum County · Wasson field · Vertical
Cornell Unit #3179 (API 42-501-31492) is a plugged well in Yoakum County, plugged May 15, 2026, last operated by Hilcorp Energy Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 21, 1977, permitted to 5,400 ft.
It was permitted by Cornell Oil CO. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 20.3M barrels of oil and 35.4M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 268 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
