Wight Louie E. #7 (API 42-135-37248) is a well in Ector County operated by Oxy USA Inc., completed October 3, 1996 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued August 21, 1996, permitted to 5,320 ft.
It was permitted by Arco Permian and has since transferred to Oxy USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.

Its lease has reported 373K barrels of oil and 98.3K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 8 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 26.2K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through November 2025.
