Andrews County · Glasco (Ellenburger) field · Vertical
Butler #1 (API 42-003-01971) is a well in Andrews County operated by Oxy USA Wtp Eor LLC, completed July 21, 1985.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1985 and 1989, permitted to 13,900 ft.
It was permitted by Oxy USA Inc. and has since transferred to Oxy USA Wtp Eor LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including San Andres, Pennsylvanian, Strawn, Mississippian.
Its lease has reported 1.64M barrels of oil and 23.9K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
