Cowden Frank R/a -D- #18
Andrews County · Cowden North field · Shut In · Vertical
Cowden Frank R/A -D- #18 (API 42-003-32429) is a well in Andrews County operated by Occidental Permian Ltd., completed May 28, 1991 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in January 1, 1998.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1980 and 1993, permitted to 10,982 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 366K barrels of oil and 265K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 16 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
