Salt Creek Field Unit #H 56 (API 42-263-31256) is a well in Kent County operated by Oxy USA Wtp LP, completed January 3, 2025 and listed as injection on the RRC schedule.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued February 10, 1987, permitted to 6,800 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 3 formation tops, including Yates, San Andres, Canyon.
Its lease has reported 140M barrels of oil and 284M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The lease carries 538 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
It holds an active disposal or injection permit, with 356K barrels injected in the 12 months reported through May 2026.
