Holt O. B. #63 (API 42-135-21179) is a plugged well in Ector County, plugged April 14, 2026, last operated by Texland Petroleum L.P..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued February 28, 1997, permitted to 9,140 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco E & P Inc. and has since transferred to Texland Petroleum L.P. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Red Bed, Lime, Lime And Sand.
Its 2 leases have reported 228K barrels of oil and 189K 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.
