Cowden Elliott F. -B- #1
Ector County · Cowden South (Canyon 8790) field · Vertical
Cowden Elliott F. -B- #1 (API 42-135-34470) is a plugged well in Ector County, plugged August 1, 1994, last operated by Occidental Permian Ltd..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 22, 1984, permitted to 9,500 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Canyon.
Its lease has reported 297K barrels of oil and 138K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 24 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
