Cothes B #2
Andrews County · Harris field · Vertical
Cothes B #2 (API 42-003-38342) is a well in Andrews County operated by Parallel Petroleum LLC, completed April 15, 1998.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1998 and 2002, permitted to 6,200 ft.
It was permitted by Seaboard Oil Company and has since transferred to Parallel Petroleum LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Queen, Grayburg, San Andres, Glorieta.
Its 3 leases have reported 205K barrels of oil and 17.7K mcf of gas since October 1997, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 32.9K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through October 2025.
