Emmons Unit #218 (API 42-135-37527) is a well in Ector County operated by Aghorn Operating Inc., completed June 18, 2015 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued September 8, 1997, permitted to 5,000 ft.
It was permitted by Phillips Petroleum Company and has since transferred to Aghorn Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Grayburg, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 1.87M barrels of oil and 1.5M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 58 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
