Cowden E. F. -40- #2 (API 42-135-33247) is a well in Ector County operated by Moss Swd LLC, completed November 8, 1979 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 23, 1979, permitted to 4,500 ft.
It was permitted by Petroleum Technical Services CO. and has since transferred to Moss Swd LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 9.94K barrels of oil and 78.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
