Columbus Field Unit #61 (API 42-089-00044) is a plugged well in Colorado County, plugged September 19, 2013, last operated by Devon Energy Operating CO. L.P..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 4, 1996, permitted to 8,400 ft.
It was permitted by Oxy USA Inc. and has since transferred to Devon Energy Operating CO. L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 1.77M barrels of oil and 4.76M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 74 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
