Txl -E- #1 (API 42-135-05970) is a plugged well in Ector County, plugged May 16, 2016, last operated by Apache Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 24, 1997, permitted to 9,837 ft.
It was permitted by Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 10.8K barrels of oil and 84.8K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in May 2016. The leases carry 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
