West Taylor #115 (API 42-083-35949) is a well in Coleman County operated by Novco Operating Company, completed October 24, 2011.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 28, 2011, permitted to 4,800 ft.

It was permitted by Black Strata LLC and has since transferred to Novco Operating Company on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Palo Pinto, Gardner Sand, Upper Caps Line, Upper Caps Lime.

Its 2 leases have reported 16.9K barrels of oil and 140K mcf of gas since September 2011, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 9 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 4.73K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through March 2026.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
