Cothes C R #1 (API 42-003-00328) is a plugged well in Andrews County, plugged May 23, 2012, last operated by Parallel Petroleum LLC.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 2, 2000, permitted to 6,005 ft.

It was permitted by Lynx Energy Company, Inc. and has since transferred to Parallel Petroleum LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Its 2 leases have reported 198K barrels of oil and 10.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
