Ponderosa Unit #L 1H
Howard County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Producing · Horizontal
Ponderosa Unit #L 1H (API 42-227-38582) is a horizontal well in Howard County operated by Apache Corporation, completed October 29, 2015 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued July 16, 2015, permitted to 10,000 ft.
It was permitted by Big Star Oil & Gas, LLC and has since transferred to Apache Corporation on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 10 formation tops, including Yates, Seven Rivers, Glorieta, San Andres.
Its lease has reported 2.07M barrels of oil and 6.07M mcf of gas since October 2015, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 12 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
