Bowdle Margaret 42 #1 (API 42-301-30628) is a plugged well in Loving County, plugged November 4, 2024, last operated by Double Eagle Operating LLC.

The RRC has issued 4 drilling permits between 1985 and 2014, permitted to 18,500 ft.

It was permitted by Merit Energy Company and has since transferred to Double Eagle Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 14 formation tops, including Rustler, Delaware, Bell Canyon, Bone Spring.

Its 4 leases have reported 102 barrels of oil and 6.56M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 4 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.

The sources disagree, which usually means a transfer or a lease-level production filing by a different entity. Petrora goes with the schedule.
