Cochran County · Levelland field · Vertical
Starnes #41-26 (API 42-079-31249) is a well in Cochran County operated by Monsanto Oil Company, completed January 14, 1984.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 27, 1980, permitted to 5,100 ft.
It was permitted by Monsanto Company and has since transferred to Monsanto Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 1.49M barrels of oil and 1.57M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 131 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit.
