Zapata County · Haynes (Middle Wilcox Cons.) field · Producing · Vertical
Asche #42 (API 42-505-33945) is a well in Zapata County operated by Hilcorp Energy Company, completed September 1, 1999 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 18, 1999, permitted to 13,000 ft.
It was permitted by Houston Exploration Company, The and has since transferred to Hilcorp Energy Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 551 barrels of oil and 5.85M mcf of gas since August 1999, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
