Cowden Strip #6 (API 42-003-38247) is a well in Andrews County operated by R2q Operating LLC, completed October 1, 1997 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 10, 1997, permitted to 5,400 ft.
It was permitted by Steller Energy & Investment Corp and has since transferred to R2q Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Glorieta, Clear Fork.
Its lease has reported 433K barrels of oil and 9.36K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
