Ector County · Goldsmith (5600) field · Vertical
Goldsmith C. A. Etal #497 WS (API 42-135-00876) is a plugged well in Ector County, plugged September 12, 1994, last operated by Xto Energy Inc..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 20, 1978, permitted to 5,647 ft.
It was permitted by Gulf Oil Corp. and has since transferred to Xto Energy Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 8.37M barrels of oil and 9.94M mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 699 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
