Holt Fay #11 (API 42-135-33302) is a plugged well in Ector County, plugged January 17, 1997, last operated by Oxy USA Inc..

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1980 and 1992, permitted to 5,500 ft.

It was permitted by Arco Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Oxy USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Grayburg, Holt, Glorieta.

Its 3 leases have reported 101M barrels of oil and 44.4M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 1,667 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
