Henry Cowden (Gbsa)Unit #401 (API 42-003-37015) is a plugged well in Andrews County, plugged August 31, 2018, last operated by Extex Operating Company.
The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits (amended 3 times) between 1991 and 2003, permitted to 12,900 ft.
It was permitted by Henry Petroleum LP and has since transferred to Extex Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Wolfcamp, Canyon, Devonian.
Its 4 leases have reported 1.55M barrels of oil and 328K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 33 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
