Rodriguez Gas Unit #6 (API 42-505-33171) is a well in Zapata County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed July 27, 1994 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued March 16, 1994, permitted to 14,500 ft.
It was permitted by Houston Exploration Company, The and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including T/Wilcox, Wilcox, B/Wilcox, Wills Point.
Its 2 leases have reported 9 barrels of oil and 715K mcf of gas since June 1994, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.
Wells nearby
Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
