Parker J. E. -B- #1 (API 42-135-08535) is a well in Ector County operated by Pen-Tex Production CO. Inc., completed May 2, 1980.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued November 20, 1979, permitted to 4,300 ft.
It was permitted by Empire Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Pen-Tex Production CO. Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 31.5K barrels of oil and 107K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
