Cortes #12H
Irion County · Spraberry (Trend Area) field · Producing · Horizontal
Cortes #12H (API 42-235-35496) is a horizontal well in Irion County operated by Permian Resources Operating LLC, completed July 19, 2014 and listed as producing on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued June 19, 2013, permitted to 6,376 ft.
It was permitted by Devon Energy Production CO, L.P. and has since transferred to Permian Resources Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report 8 formation tops, including Grayburg, San Andres, Clear Fork, Spraberry.
Its 2 leases have reported 1.49M barrels of oil and 34.8M mcf of gas since December 2012, last reporting volume in April 2026. The leases carry 58 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
