Ector County · Goldsmith N. (San Andres Con.) field · Vertical
Cowden W. F. -C- Upper R/A -B- #70 (API 42-135-34680) is a plugged well in Ector County, plugged March 24, 2004, last operated by Occidental Permian Ltd..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 12, 1984, permitted to 4,750 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production CO.-Andrews and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including San Andres.
Its lease has reported 141K barrels of oil and 139K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 21 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
