Cochran County · Levelland field · Producing · Vertical
Wright D. S. #1 (API 42-079-31378) is a well in Cochran County operated by Momentum Operating CO. Inc., completed June 18, 1981 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 25, 1981, permitted to 4,950 ft.
It was permitted by Depco, Inc. and has since transferred to Momentum Operating CO. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 500K barrels of oil and 493K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 20 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
