Veal #41W (API 42-079-31978) is a well in Cochran County operated by Extex Operating Company, completed January 24, 1991 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 6, 1984, 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.
Completion filings report one formation top, including San Andres.
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.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 6.34K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through February 2026.
Operator of record

Well logs
1 log loaded from the RRC's log index, the latest received Feb 8, 2011. Neutron. These are the logs loaded into Petrora from the Railroad Commission's inventories, not necessarily every log run on the well. The RRC holds the files; each opens from its log search for the well. The kind is the RRC's description of the log; the interval is the one filed for it.

"Spans" is by this well's own filed formation tops: a formation runs from its top to the next deeper top filed, and the deepest runs to the bottom of the log. Depths are measured along the wellbore, so on a horizontal the lateral counts in the formation it was landed in.
