Dawson County · MTS (San Andres) field · Vertical
Bessie 13 #1 (API 42-115-32137) is a well in Dawson County operated by Fremont Energy L.P., completed December 19, 1984.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 19, 1984, permitted to 5,400 ft.
It was permitted by Bennett, M. Brad Inc. and has since transferred to Fremont Energy L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including San Andres.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.84M barrels of oil and 295K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 30 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 41.7K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through August 2025.
Operator of record
Permitted by Bennett, M. Brad Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
