Holt Fay #14 (API 42-135-36640) is a plugged well in Ector County, plugged May 10, 2013, last operated by Oxy USA Inc..

The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 3, 1992, permitted to 5,600 ft.

It was permitted by Arco Oil & Gas CO. and has since transferred to Oxy USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including Holt, Glorieta.

Its lease has reported 1.01M barrels of oil and 174K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 11 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

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