Powell -A- #44 (API 42-179-30866) is a well in Gray County operated by Ponderosa TX Operating LLC, completed September 4, 1981 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued December 30, 1980, permitted to 3,100 ft.
It was permitted by Panhandle Pluggers, Inc. and has since transferred to Ponderosa TX Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 22.6K barrels of oil and 324K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
