Rhodes Cowden Unit #462 (API 42-135-35754) is a well in Ector County operated by Oxy USA Wtp LP, completed February 13, 1988 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 22, 1987, permitted to 4,350 ft.
It was permitted by Cities Service Oil & Gas Corp. and has since transferred to Oxy USA Wtp LP on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Grayburg.
Its lease has reported 8.15M barrels of oil and 6.14M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 170 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
