Southwest Andrews Unit #12 (API 42-003-02178) is a well in Andrews County operated by Morningstar Operating LLC, completed July 13, 1994 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1984 and 1994, permitted to 12,455 ft.
It was permitted by Union Oil Company Of California and has since transferred to Morningstar Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Pennsylvanian, Strawn, Devonian, Ellenburger.
Its 2 leases have reported 2.64M barrels of oil and 4.18M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 40 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
