Cochran County · Levelland field · Producing · Vertical
Veal #40 (API 42-079-31184) is a well in Cochran County operated by Extex Operating Company, completed October 28, 1983 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 18, 1980, permitted to 5,100 ft.
It was permitted by Union Texas Petroleum Corp. and has since transferred to Extex Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 1.39M barrels of oil and 542K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 54 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
