Howard County · Iatan East Howard field · Producing · Vertical
Bell A. M. #6S (API 42-227-32340) is a well in Howard County operated by Bce-Mach Iii LLC, completed July 26, 1999 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1981 and 1998, permitted to 2,998 ft.
It was permitted by Chevron U. S. A. Inc. and has since transferred to Bce-Mach Iii LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.97M barrels of oil and 130K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 72 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
