Black Baldy #6 (API 42-003-45881) is a well in Andrews County operated by Vin Fisher Operating Inc., completed March 12, 2014 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 21, 2014, permitted to 5,007 ft.
It was permitted by Ring Energy, Inc. and has since transferred to Vin Fisher Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Dean, Glorieta, Holt.
Its 2 leases have reported 484K barrels of oil and 51.3K mcf of gas since October 2013, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 27 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
