Moss J #2
Ector County · Cowden South (Canyon 8790) field · Shut In · Vertical
Moss J #2 (API 42-135-36251) is a well in Ector County operated by Oxy USA Wtp LP, completed June 25, 2014 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in May 1, 2014.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 16, 1990, permitted to 9,100 ft.
It was permitted by Oxy USA Inc. and has since transferred to Oxy USA Wtp LP on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Grayburg, Cisco, Canyon.
Its lease has reported 13.8K barrels of oil and 18.6K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
