Benge Arch #13 (API 42-329-31575) is a plugged well in Midland County, plugged May 14, 2020, last operated by Cog Operating LLC.

The RRC has issued 2 drilling permits between 1985 and 1988, permitted to 11,300 ft.

It was permitted by Mobil Producing TX. & N.M. Inc. and has since transferred to Cog Operating LLC on the wellbore schedule.

Completion filings report 5 formation tops, including Clear Fork, Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Strawn.

Its 2 leases have reported 468K barrels of oil and 1.5M mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in July 2026. The leases carry 15 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.
