Lowe Bitler Unit #38 (API 42-003-39143) is a well in Andrews County operated by Crescent Energy Operating LLC, completed November 5, 2003 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 1, 2003, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Maynard Oil CO. and has since transferred to Crescent Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 1.93M barrels of oil and 314K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 48 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
