Ector County · Foster field · Producing · Vertical
North Foster Unit #178 (API 42-135-37940) is a well in Ector County operated by Aghorn Operating Inc., completed February 24, 2001 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 1, 2000, permitted to 4,254 ft.
It was permitted by Pure Resources, L.P. and has since transferred to Aghorn Operating Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Yates, Seven Rivers, Queen, Grayburg.
Its lease has reported 3.1M barrels of oil and 1.34M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in February 2026. The lease carries 119 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
