Gaines County · Wasson 72 field · Shut In · Vertical
Gaines Wasson Clearfork Unit #6520G (API 42-165-33825) is a well in Gaines County operated by Occidental Permian Ltd., completed April 7, 2026 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule, shut in April 1, 2026.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 23, 1987, permitted to 7,709 ft.
It was permitted by Shell Western E&P Inc. and has since transferred to Occidental Permian Ltd. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 6 formation tops, including Rustler, Yates, Queen, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 13.2M barrels of oil and 3.76M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in August 2026. The lease carries 187 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

Every well with a location on file around this well, in any state, nearest first.
Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
