Gaines County · Tex-Mex S.E. (Upper Clearfork) field · Vertical
Mcgowen #1 (API 42-165-34125) is a plugged well in Gaines County, plugged June 21, 2017, last operated by Sandridge Expl. And Prod. LLC.
The RRC has issued 3 drilling permits between 1989 and 2007, permitted to 8,000 ft.
It was permitted by Forest Oil Permian Corporation and has since transferred to Sandridge Expl. And Prod. LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 4 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Tubb, Wichita-Albany.
Its 4 leases have reported 10.3K barrels of oil and 13.6K mcf of gas since October 1993, last reporting in July 2017. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
