Ector County · Cowden (Canyon) field · Producing · Directional · Sidetrack
Fortune 500 #1 (API 42-135-36522) is a well in Ector County operated by R3 Operating Corporation, completed July 12, 1997 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended twice) between 1991 and 1997, permitted to 12,789 ft.
It was permitted by Phillips Petroleum Company and has since transferred to R3 Operating Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 7 formation tops, including Strawn, Mississippian, Devonian, Silurian (undifferentiated).
Its 2 leases have reported 509K barrels of oil and 264K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 3 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
