Txl -A- #12 (API 42-135-05737) is a well in Ector County operated by Aghorn Operating Inc., completed August 24, 1997.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 14, 1997, permitted to 8,030 ft.
It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Aghorn Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including San Andres.
Its 3 leases have reported 18.9K barrels of oil and 109K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 6 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
