John B. Bowen Jr. B #1
Howard County · Howard-Glasscock (Glorieta) field · Vertical
John B. Bowen JR. B #1 (API 42-227-31623) is a well in Howard County operated by Circle H Oil Company, completed July 10, 1978.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued May 23, 1978, permitted to 3,300 ft.
It was permitted by Guthrie, A. K. Operating CO. and has since transferred to Circle H Oil Company on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 27.9K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 7 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Guthrie, A. K. Operating Co.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
