Denver Unit #6710 (API 42-165-00705) is a plugged horizontal well in Gaines County, plugged July 12, 2001, last operated by Occidental Permian Ltd..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended once), issued February 25, 1994, permitted to 5,100 ft.
It was permitted by Shell Western E&P Inc. and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 354M barrels of oil and 1.17B mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in August 2026. The lease carries 2,471 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
