Powell 16 #1
Glasscock County · Cobra (Wolfcamp) field · Vertical
Powell 16 #1 (API 42-173-32964) is a well in Glasscock County operated by Oxy USA Inc., completed June 14, 2018.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 14, 1999, permitted to 8,500 ft.
It was permitted by Range Production Company and has since transferred to Oxy USA Inc. on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Dean, L. Clearfork Marker, Wolfcamp.
Its 2 leases have reported 229K barrels of oil and 482K mcf of gas since May 1999, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 484K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through January 2026.
