Zapata County · La Perla (Lobo Cons.) field · Temp Abandoned · Vertical
La Perla #178 (API 42-505-33110) is a well in Zapata County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed December 18, 1997 and listed as temp abandoned on the RRC schedule, shut in March 1, 2000.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1993 and 1997, permitted to 10,700 ft.
It was permitted by Conoco Inc. and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including T/Wilcox, B/Wilcox, Base Of Lwr. Wilcox, Wills Point.
Its 2 leases have reported 23 barrels of oil and 535K mcf of gas since January 1994, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
