North Cowden Unit #1171 (API 42-135-34852) is a well in Ector County operated by Occidental Permian Ltd., completed December 9, 2015 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 27, 1985, permitted to 4,642 ft.
It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Yates, Grayburg, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 99.7M barrels of oil and 44.2M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 1,651 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
