Not one formation; the well must be completed in one of them, and no target formation is stated. The district's wildcat field is also on the permit.

La Perla #61 (API 42-505-32105) is a well in Zapata County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed April 7, 1986 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.

It was permitted by Transamerican Natural Gas Corp. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 33 barrels of oil and 3.64M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in August 2026.

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