Cochran County · Levelland field · Vertical
Veal #48 (API 42-079-32639) is a plugged well in Cochran County, plugged December 7, 2024, last operated by Extex Operating Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 2, 1992, permitted to 5,250 ft.
It was permitted by Meridian Oil Inc. 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.
