Cochran County · Levelland field · Producing · Vertical
Starnes Unit #5018 (API 42-079-33059) is a well in Cochran County operated by Aviator Energy LLC, completed March 12, 2004 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 14, 2004, permitted to 5,040 ft.
It was permitted by Walsh Petroleum, Inc. and has since transferred to Aviator Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including San Andres.
Its lease has reported 826K barrels of oil and 130K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 86 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
