Ector County · Cowden South (Canyon 8790) field · Producing · Vertical
Cowden W.E. -B- #2 (API 42-135-32798) is a well in Ector County operated by Aghorn Operating Inc., completed November 22, 1977 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 24, 1977, permitted to 9,116 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Aghorn Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 97.3K barrels of oil and 205K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in February 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
