HILBIG OIL UNIT NO. 1
Operated by LOWER COLORADO RIVER AUTHORITY (P-5 511280) in the HILBIG field. Every figure below is a volume the Railroad Commission published, multiplied by a monthly price you can check.
The Railroad Commission's own record for the field this lease produces from, including the spacing rule that governs how close together its wells may be drilled.
These are facts about the field, not about this lease. The field holds 28 leases and 44 wells, and the rule below applies to all of them.
A drilling unit in this field needs at least 40 acres. The field rule took effect on 1991-04-29.
The Commission's schedule remark for this field reads: “APPROVED GAS BANK ALLOWING INJECTION BE BROUGHT FORWARD.”
What this lease produced, and what it was worth
Oil and condensate are valued on the volume the state records as disposed of; gas and casinghead gas on the volume produced. They are different columns of different files, and the difference is not cosmetic.
| Stream | Basis | Volume | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oil | Disposition | 7,354 bbl | $130,177 |
| Casinghead gas | Production | 903 Mcf | $0 |
| Total | $130,177 | ||
903 Mcf of this lease's gas, across 7 months, carries no value here. No free Texas wellhead gas price exists before 1997, so those months are left out of the total rather than valued at zero. The total above is therefore a floor, not an estimate.
Wells on this lease (17)
Every wellbore the Railroad Commission records against this lease key, with the depth, the last completion and the plug date exactly as filed. A well with no plug date is not stated to be producing — the state files no such flag.
These wells centre on 30.0073, -97.4147. A lease has no coordinate of its own — that point is the mean of its wells, and they span 0.5 miles.
What these wells add up to
Every figure below is counted over all of this lease's wells, not over the rows listed above. The Railroad Commission files two facts about a well's state — a plug date and a proration-schedule flag — and a well can carry both, so they are published as separate counts and never merged into a status.
What the state filed about each well
A plug date is the date the Commission recorded the wellbore as sealed with cement and abandoned. It is the only end-of-life fact Texas files. There is no "active" flag on a well, so this page does not print one — a well with no plug date is not stated to be producing.
How deep they were drilled
Total depth in feet, 14 of 17 wells. Median 2,656 ft, with the middle half between 2,601 and 2,777 ft; the shallowest is 2,568 ft and the deepest 4,990 ft. The median is published rather than the mean, because a single mis-keyed depth moves a mean and cannot move a median.
When they were last completed
Last completion by decade, 14 of 17 wells, Dec 1969 – Aug 1996. This is the LAST completion filed on each wellbore, not the first — a well recompleted in 2019 counts once, in the 2010s.

The API number is the state's, prefixed 42 for Texas. A well is matched to this lease by the lease key the Commission files on the wellbore record, so a well that has moved between leases appears under each one it was filed against.
Leases whose centres are nearest (29)
Ranked by the distance between lease centres, within 5 miles. A lease has no coordinate the state files — each centre is the mean of that lease's own wells, so this measures how far apart two centres are and not whether the two leases touch.

How to read this page
The arithmetic is one multiplication per stream per month. Here it is, worked, on a real row from the table above.
Oil 185 bbl × $ 15.46 = $2,860 Casinghead gas 1 Mcf × no price — ──────────────────────────────────────────────────── Month total $2,860
The volumes are the state's, unchanged
Every barrel and every Mcf on this page is a number the Railroad Commission of Texas published in its monthly production query. Nothing is modelled, estimated or filled in.
The dollars are a multiplication, not a valuation
Volume × a published monthly price. It is not what the operator was paid: it takes no account of a contract, a differential, a transportation deduction, or the share any one owner holds.
Oil and gas are priced differently
Oil is a Texas realisation — the crude oil first purchase price. Gas is a benchmark, because no free Texas wellhead gas series exists at any date. The prices page publishes the difference rather than correcting it away.
A lease is not a well
The state reports oil on lease and gas on well, and this page is the lease grain. 01/O/650 is the state's own key, not one this site invented.
