Seminole Deep Unit D #1 (API 42-165-30635) is a well in Gaines County operated by Oxy USA Inc., completed May 28, 1977 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 12, 1977, permitted to 11,660 ft.
It was permitted by Amerada Hess Corporation and has since transferred to Oxy USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 1.72M barrels of oil and 73 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
