Cowden Elliott F. -A- #177W (API 42-135-35839) is a well in Ector County operated by Occidental Permian Ltd., completed February 1, 2022 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in February 1, 2013.

The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued February 18, 1988, permitted to 9,279 ft.

It was permitted by Amoco Production Company and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 1.51M barrels of oil and 631K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 53 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

It holds an active disposal or injection permit.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
