Andrews County · Cowden North field · Vertical
Cowden Frank R/A -T- #1 (API 42-003-06276) is a plugged well in Andrews County, plugged April 29, 1991, last operated by Occidental Permian Ltd..
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1981 and 1982, permitted to 5,378 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Grayburg.
Its lease has reported 136K barrels of oil and 115K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.

Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
