Combs #169 (API 42-179-30621) is a plugged well in Gray County, plugged April 26, 2016, last operated by Petco Energy Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 27, 1978, permitted to 4,500 ft.
It was permitted by Tenneco Oil CO. and has since transferred to Petco Energy Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 2.35M barrels of oil and 2.81M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 178 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
