Wasson South Clearfork Unit #7408WS (API 42-165-31816) is a plugged well in Gaines County, plugged March 18, 2004, last operated by Occidental Permian Ltd..
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 27, 1980, permitted to 8,000 ft.
It was permitted by Shell Oil Company and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Red Beds.
Its lease has reported 26.3M barrels of oil and 32.3M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 255 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Shell Oil Company; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.

Surface location
No coordinates on the permit record yet. The RRC's GIS record usually lands within days of issuance; historical master-file permits never carry one.

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