Howard B #12
Howard County · Snyder field · Shut IN · Vertical
Howard B #12 (API 42-227-34025) is a well in Howard County operated by New Height Energy LLC, completed April 30, 1986 and listed as shut in on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued March 27, 1986, permitted to 3,200 ft.
It was permitted by Dorland, D. L. Inc. and has since transferred to New Height Energy LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Redbeds.
Its lease has reported 185K barrels of oil and 21 mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 12 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
Operator of record
Permitted by Dorland, D. L. Inc.; the EWA schedule now lists a different operator.
