Cowden Emma -Glorieta- #5 (API 42-003-31804) is a plugged well in Andrews County, plugged September 8, 2004, last operated by Arrington David H. Oil & Gas Inc.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1979 and 1981, permitted to 5,500 ft.
It was permitted by M. S. W. Drilling Company and has since transferred to Arrington David H. Oil & Gas Inc on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Glorieta.
Its lease has reported 3 barrels of oil since January 1993, last reporting in March 2008. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
