Clay #18 (API 42-227-02300) is a well in Howard County operated by Cimarex Energy CO. Of Colorado, completed March 30, 2001.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits (amended once) between 2000 and 2001, permitted to 4,001 ft.

It was permitted by Prize Operating Company and has since transferred to Cimarex Energy CO. Of Colorado on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 2 formation tops, including San Andres, Glorieta.

Its 2 leases have reported 1.1M barrels of oil and 440K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 66 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
