R.B. Cowden B #17 (API 42-135-21198) is a well in Ector County operated by Octane Energy Operating LLC, completed April 10, 2024 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 2, 2024, permitted to 7,970 ft.
It was permitted by Fivestones Energy LLC and has since transferred to Octane Energy Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including San Andres, Clear Fork, Wichita-Albany.
Its 2 leases have reported 487K barrels of oil and 315K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 26 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
