El Mar /Delaware/ Unit #1824 (API 42-301-00974) is a plugged well in Loving County, plugged December 1, 2023, last operated by Oxy USA Wtp LP.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued January 15, 1997, permitted to 4,950 ft.
It was permitted by Burlington Resources Oil&Gas CO. and has since transferred to Oxy USA Wtp LP on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 2.59M barrels of oil and 398K mcf of gas since January 1993, with no volume in the three years through April 2026. The lease carries 173 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
