Wasson South Clearfork Unit #8517S (API 42-165-32563) is a well in Gaines County operated by Occidental Permian Ltd., completed November 3, 1983.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 22, 1983, permitted to 7,800 ft.
It was permitted by Shell Oil Company and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 3 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Tubb, Wichita-Albany.
Its lease has reported 26.3M barrels of oil and 32.3M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 255 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
