Howard Glasscock East Unit #16 (API 42-227-30980) is a plugged well in Howard County, plugged May 8, 2023, last operated by Apache Corporation.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 21, 1996, permitted to 3,200 ft.
It was permitted by Marathon Oil Company and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Its 3 leases have reported 2.11M barrels of oil and 97.3K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 290 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
