Dimmit County · Pena Creek (San Miguel 3RD) field · Producing · Vertical
East Pena Creek Unit #46 (API 42-127-33016) is a well in Dimmit County operated by Atlas Operating LLC, completed January 31, 1992 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 29, 1991, permitted to 3,489 ft.
It was permitted by Conoco Inc. and has since transferred to Atlas Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Escondido, Olmos, Sm 1-A, Sm 1.
Its lease has reported 500K barrels of oil and 70.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in February 2026. The lease carries 55 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
