Bitler-Lowe -B- #9
Andrews County · Fullerton field · Shut In · Vertical
Bitler-Lowe -B- #9 (API 42-003-32829) is a well in Andrews County operated by Highmark Energy Operating LLC, completed August 8, 2014 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in August 1, 2021.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 18, 1981, permitted to 7,504 ft.
It was permitted by Maralo, Inc. and has since transferred to Highmark Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including San Andres, Clear Fork, Tubb.
Its lease has reported 425K barrels of oil and 269K mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.

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.
