South Cowden Unit #H711 (API 42-135-37172) is a plugged horizontal well in Ector County, plugged March 4, 2021, last operated by Conocophillips Company.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 21, 1996, permitted to 8,355 ft.
It was permitted by Phillips Petroleum Company and has since transferred to Conocophillips Company on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 3.52M barrels of oil and 11.8M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 118 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
