Alma #6 (API 42-135-02439) is a well in Ector County operated by Highmark Energy Operating LLC, completed June 17, 1947.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1982 and 1984, permitted to 9,820 ft.
It was permitted by Phillips Oil Company and has since transferred to Highmark Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 15 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Grayburg, San Andres.
Its 2 leases have reported 28.7K barrels of oil and 55.7K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
