Ector County · Foster field · Injection · Vertical
Witcher J. E. #89 (API 42-135-35611) is a well in Ector County operated by Occidental Permian Ltd., completed November 8, 2007 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 12, 1987, permitted to 4,250 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, Queen, Grayburg.
Its lease has reported 5.09M barrels of oil and 1.36M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 112 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 39.9K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through October 2025.
