Connell W.E. Nct-2 #166 (API 42-135-36742) is a horizontal well in Ector County operated by Cross Timbers Energy LLC, completed July 19, 1996 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 1993 and 1996, permitted to 6,200 ft.
It was permitted by Texaco E & P Inc. and has since transferred to Cross Timbers Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including San Andres, Clear Fork, Wichita-Albany.
Its lease has reported 527K barrels of oil and 428K mcf of gas since May 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
