Salt Creek Field Unit #B 56 (API 42-263-31316) is a plugged well in Kent County, plugged June 21, 2019, last operated by Oxy USA Wtp LP.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued April 4, 1988, 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 one formation top, including Canyon.
Its 2 leases have reported 140M barrels of oil and 284M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 542 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
