Txl -R- #1 (API 42-135-05540) is a well in Ector County operated by Oxy USA Wtp LP, completed August 5, 1989 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 13, 1989, permitted to 12,971 ft.
It was permitted by Oxy USA Inc. and has since transferred to Oxy USA Wtp LP on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Canyon.
Its 2 leases have reported 42.1K barrels of oil and 430K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
