Moss J #1A
Ector County · Cowden South (Canyon 8790) field · Shut In · Vertical
Moss J #1A (API 42-135-32825) is a well in Ector County operated by Oxy USA Wtp LP, completed April 10, 1978 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2001.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 27, 1977, permitted to 9,050 ft.
It was permitted by Cities Service Company and has since transferred to Oxy USA Wtp LP on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 13.8K barrels of oil and 18.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
