Kent County · Salt Creek field · Vertical
Salt Creek Field Unit #H53 (API 42-263-30934) is a plugged well in Kent County, plugged July 29, 2021, last operated by Oxy USA Wtp LP.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 4, 1983, permitted to 6,700 ft.
It was permitted by Mobil Producing TX. & N.M. Inc. and has since transferred to Oxy USA Wtp LP on the wellbore schedule.
Completion filings report one formation top, including Canon Reef.
Its lease has reported 140M barrels of oil and 284M mcf of gas since the record begins in January 1993, last reporting volume in April 2026. The lease carries 538 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
